Areol, action research and evaluation on line, is a 14-week public course offered each semester as a public service by Southern Cross University and the Southern Cross Institute of Action Research

The course, hosted by Bob Dick who has been a a guest expert with Ultraversity, is running now. In between marking Action Enquiry reports, I visited Nancy White's blog which always has interesting entries and discovered that the areol course is live. Nancy has also been a guest expert with Ultraversity. There is something in the course for researchers at all levels - perhaps I should use it as a lever to get some of my own research moving again.

Ultraversity researchers use a variation, Action Enquiry, but the areol course would have be great for anyone who wanted to develop their skills. Time is going to be the drawback as most people will have holiday plans.
