Instruction will take the format of personal emails layered with usage of Web 2.0. Registered participants will receive 3-6 emails before the workshop begins and 2-3 messages/day during the workshop and about 1-2 dozen emails afterward. We recommend that participants budget at least one hour per day for your reading and posting assignments. If you cannot read everything,
skim! If you miss a day or two or do not have the time, there’s no penalty!
The advantage of an online workshop is that participants are able to access the information at your convenience.
Reading is the easy part. Planeta is also asking participants to actively use a few of the Web 2.0 channels. Learn Web 2.0 by using Web 2.0!
Access to the 2-week online workshop is (US) $100 per person. Tour businesses featured in Planeta.com’s World Travel Directory — www.planeta.com/worldtravel.html — are charged $50.
Owners of tourism businesses, government officials, ngo leaders and others working in tourism and conservation are invited to register. One of the target audiences are the 40+ generation for whom Web 2.0 is confusing. The workshop creates a safe and fun environment to improve your own skills and to see how others are using the Web in new and exciting ways.
The teacher is Ron Mader, founder of Planeta.com, the first (1994) website focusing on practical ecotourism around the globe. Ron has offered Web 2.0 workshops in the United States, Australia, Ecuador and Mexico. American Environmental Leaders (2008) includes a profile of Ron for his work in environmental journalism.
Ron will be offering a face-to-face version of the workshop at the upcoming European Ecotourism and Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism conferences in September.
