As such we have developed, and will continue to develop, a unique approach to learning that we choose to call Participatory Inquiry. Participatory Inquiry is a project oriented task and practice-based process of inquiry with others. Participatory Inquiry is driven by action research that engages users, providers and researchers in a co-generative and co-learning research and development endeavour. Outcomes may lead to co-design of tourism innovations, alternative business opportunities, and identification of sustainable development opportunities for present and future local cohesiveness and global inclusion.
We have developed our own award-winning e-learning platform, , in order to engage students, academics and practitioners in open learning environments. The web 2.0 platform is also used for experimentation with MOOCs, and online course delivery to a lesser extent. Our most prestigious tourism programme, the European Master in Tourism Management, is accredited as Erasmus Mundus and Erasmus+.
