Nearly 50 faculty from around the world responded to a safety and risk management survey that I posted on the EcoLog (http://goo.gl/forms/zTO8MxKlsn ), which asked questions about managing field-based courses. I presented the results at the 2015 Wilderness Risk Management Conference in Portland, Oregon (http://www.nols.edu/wrmc/resources.shtml ). 64% of survey respondents said they felt the risk management training and protocols at their institutions were inadequate to manage their courses.
Since then faculty have requested a well-researched, succinct online risk management training for university faculty who teach field-based courses, so I developed one. You can preview the course for free anytime at http://educate-wild.teachable.com/courses/RM101/ and you may enroll now for free using this coupon: ECOLOG2016 100% off Until March 7, 2016 Once you enroll in the course, you have lifetime access to the content.
