This is a bare-bones tutorial on how to create a course with the new P2PU.
-
Once you've created an account, log-in.
-
You'll be taken directly to your dashboard which is the central hub of activity on the site.
-
To create a new course visit the study group page.
-
There'll be a button there that will allow you to start the creation process.
-
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.
-
make sure to explicitly state your role and what participants can expect from you and of themselves.
-
If you're part of one of the awesome schools at P2PU, don't forget to state it.
-
Once you've created a course it will show up in the study groups listing as under development.
-
To add more information and update it, click the edit button.
-
You can add more information about the course in the summary.
-
Definitely add an image so you're easier to find.
-
However, if the image is not your own, please make sure it's openly licensed.
-
You can update the status of your course here if it's ready to go, or maybe not quite yet.
-
You can open it up for sign-up, or close it to sign-up.
-
You can also hide it if it's just not ready for the public eye.
-
You can also add the dates for when the course or study group will run.
-
You can manually add and remove participants and also give people organiser status.
-
All content actually hosted and posted on P2PU is under an open license by default (CC-By-SA).
-
If the content you're using is not openly licensed, you can always link to it, but you can't post it
-
or paste it directly onto the site.
-
The most important part of the P2PU course is the tasks.
-
Tasks are the actual learning goals and objectives that all the participants act upon and conquer.
-
Also important, definitely add good information about yourself.
-
The more we know about you, the easier it is to work with you and learn from you.
-
