Cycle 12 of the annual Elfin Permaculture Design
Course Online begins October 14, 2007. The course
runs about six months and includes reading
assignments from books, papers and the course CD,
4 reports from each student including a full
permaculture design report, regular class
assignments, and class discussion via email.
Instructors are course designer, Dan Hemenway,
principal discussion leader Dr. Willem Smuts, and
special instructor Cynthia Hemenway, CNM, who
leads the Design for Health module. Bob Waldrop
is a teaching assistant.
Enrollment of certificate students is limited. Up
to 20 non-certificate students (no design report)
and unlimited monitors (no participation) may join
in.
The course CD, which includes more than 300 items
including papers, course assignments, instructor's
lectures, background information, reference
databases, and sample designs, is available
separately in a special, non-certificate edition.
There are several levels of participation, thus
allowing you to tailor the course for your needs.
For only $250, you can monitor the course -- which
means that you receive all messages/discussion
related to course content, plus you get the course
CD with hundreds of pages of permaculture material
that is not available elsewhere. You can
participate in study group discussions. You can't
post to the whole group, however, nor do you
submit assignments.
If you are primarily interested in gaining a basic
knowledge of permaculture, and are not looking to
earn a permaculture design certificate, then
monitoring the 12th cycle of the Online
Permaculture Design Course would be a great way to
go. The class CD that comes with the course is a
great resource.
