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, www.INNOTOUR.com, 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+.
