We’re moving!
 
Yes,   the long-awaited migration from the old P2PU site to our lovely new   home is almost upon us, and we’re really excited. Our new site is   sleeker and better looking, but more importantly, it’s better geared to   facilitating peer to peer learning.  (how?) (why is it good?)

We’re   hoping that this new site will be the base from which the P2PU   community can continue to leverage the internet and educational   materials openly available online and enable high-quality, low-cost   education opportunities for as many people has we can reach.

[this section needs to be fleshed out]

P2PU - learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything. 

====LONGER SECTION TO BE ADDED TO MAILER/BLOG POST ETC====
How to get started
If   you’re new to P2PU, the best way to get started is to create an   account. If you’ve already registered, even on the old site, then you   should have an account already set up.
Once   you have an account, you can use the My P2PU link in the top right   corner of the page to manage your profile and view any messages you may   have.  We recommend that you add a photo and plenty of detail to your   profile, so that people can see who you are and what you’re interested   in learning.
What happened to the Front Page?
Like   Facebook or Twitter and many other sites, the new P2PU site doesn’t   have a front page, like the old one did. Instead, every time you log  on,  you will find yourself on your dashboard. From here you can track  the  activity in groups that you are a part of, or you can use the  Learn,  People, Schools and Blog links across the top of the page to  find  groups, view people’s profiles and follow them, explore the  Schools that  are part of P2PU or visit our blog.
Join the Help Desk
Think   of the help desk as a 24 hour, 365 day a year orientation. This is the   place where all the “how to” info about the new site is kept, and   shared, and where you can ask any questions you may have.  Have a look   in the Tasks section of the helpdesk for some great screencasts and   discussions on the best ways to start learning.
Find a course or study group
Now   that you’ve got your account all up and running, it’s time to learn!   Your can browse all the current courses and study groups that are under   development, newly open,  and already running by clicking on the  “Learn”  link at the top of your dashboard. This will show you all the  courses  and groups, and their status.

Create your own course or study group
If you’d like to create your own course or group, have a look at this great screencast how-to.

Find materials from old courses that ran on the previous site
If   you were a participant in, or organiser of a course on the previous   site, and you can’t find it on the new one, never fear! You can import   the material directly using this great tool:  http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/import/
