We are collaborating with Ray Milidoni of the Soil Learning Center to offer integrated exchanges with the Permaculture CoLab’s Project-Based Learning programme.
As an invitation to our network, Ray is offering any of these courses for free to people who are keen to road test the user interface and experience (UI/UX). Courses can be downloaded so you can take them with you offline throughout your day.
Side-note for the micro-enterprise designers in our community: Ray is keen to collaborate on a platform for co-farming (sharing land for producing crops), and this could be developed as the ‘project-based’ component to this information sharing platform.
If you are interested in taking one of these courses (enrolling before September 20th), please submit the form below and we’ll be in touch with your access details.
Brief
Ray’s team are looking for the following information:
- How is the ‘cart’ experience? (Using our discount code, you will check out a $0 course)
- How intuitive is it to navigate this site? Anything confusing or difficult to find?
- Do you find notifications too much, too few, or just right?
- What features are missing, which would really make this awesome for you?
- And of course: Bugs!
Requirements
It’s preferable that beta testers are comfortable using Loom or a similar screen-recording software to make short videos describing the experience, what isn’t working, what you would change, etc.
If you aren’t able to do so, you must at least be able to screenshot the window.
There are no other entry requirements.
After you submit, a member of our team will be in touch with your discount code and details about where to log your feedback.

The International Permaculture CoLab have introduced an Events Aggregator to auto-magically integrate events submitted from across our network. As well as events hosted in the Permaculture CoLab itself (such as our quarterly Open Space events), we also promote events from regional permaculture associations, regenerative communities, social innovation and systems literacy, and other allied movements. Events can be filtered by location, language and topic.View our calendar at perma.earth/events and use this form to submit a one-off event, or this one to link your own events calendar and we will set it to fetch the events that you tell us to, at a frequency determined by you. We envision building a commons around this knowledge asset, allowing the ongoing development to be co-designed by those who benefit from its existence. Email the Calendar Coordinators to learn more!

The Permaculture CoLab is incubating a new circle – the Funding Circle. As we expand into new Domains we are looking for people with experience and / or a strong interest in learning all about funding applications and helping people accessing funds for their Permaculture activities, work and projects.
