00:00:01.092 --> 00:00:07.600
This is a bare-bones tutorial on how to create a course with the new P2PU.

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:11.800
Once you've created an account, log-in.

00:00:14.877 --> 00:00:21.044
You'll be taken directly to your dashboard which is the central hub of activity on the site.

00:00:22.506 --> 00:00:26.452
To create a new course visit the study group page.

00:00:26.452 --> 00:00:31.598
There'll be a button there that will allow you to start the creation process.

00:00:31.964 --> 00:00:40.169
No matter what the style is of your learning project, whether it's an informal study group or a tradtional course where you're the expert.

00:00:40.485 --> 00:00:47.677
make sure to explicitly state your role and what participants can expect from you and of themselves.

00:00:53.561 --> 00:01:06.244
If you're part of one of the awesome schools at P2PU, don't forget to state it.

00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:14.000
Once you've created a course it will show up in the study groups listing as under development.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.738
To add more information and update it, click the edit button.

00:01:20.062 --> 00:01:24.650
You can add more information about the course in the summary.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.679
Definitely add an image so you're easier to find.

00:01:27.679 --> 00:01:34.244
However, if the image is not your own, please make sure it's openly licensed.

00:01:34.244 --> 00:01:40.426
You can update the status of your course here if it's ready to go, or maybe not quite yet.

00:01:40.426 --> 00:01:44.400
You can open it up for sign-up, or close it to sign-up.

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.970
You can also hide it if it's just not ready for the public eye.

00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:54.939
You can also add the dates for when the course or study group will run.

00:01:54.939 --> 00:02:02.133
You can manually add and remove participants and also give people organiser status.

00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:09.567
All content actually hosted and posted on P2PU is under an open license by default (CC-By-SA).

00:02:09.567 --> 00:02:15.165
If the content you're using is not openly licensed, you can always link to it, but you can't post it

00:02:15.165 --> 00:02:18.540
or paste it directly onto the site.

00:02:21.017 --> 00:02:27.102
The most important part of the P2PU course is the tasks.

00:02:27.102 --> 00:02:38.037
Tasks are the actual learning goals and objectives that all the participants act upon and conquer.

00:02:40.037 --> 00:02:44.420
Also important, definitely add good information about yourself.

00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:49.887
The more we know about you, the easier it is to work with you and learn from you.

00:02:49.887 --> 00:02:56.002
If you need help at any time you can bring your questions to qa.p2pu.org

00:02:56.052 --> 00:03:00.228
or you can get involved with the Help Desk.

00:03:00.228 --> 00:03:05.822
The Help Desk is where we hold more in-depth conversations about what peer learning is all about.

00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:11.118
The P2PU site is currently in beta

00:03:11.118 --> 00:03:15.071
it has a lot of awesome features for peer learning and more are on the way.

00:03:15.071 --> 00:03:19.668
If you're interested in finding out where we're at and what's to come, visit our tracker (lighthouse.p2pu.org).

00:03:19.668 --> 00:03:24.173
You can also report any bugs you find there. I'm sure there'll be one or two.

00:03:24.958 --> 00:03:29.351
We're really excited to work with you and learn from you at P2PU.

00:03:29.351 --> 00:03:34.915
Remember, you can ask for help at any time.
