What:

• An initial set of high quality courses on beta.p2pu.org
• Build and run the courses

Timeframe:

• +- 2 weeks to prepare courses <-- is this realistic
  • It should be. I mean, a course that takes longer to set up is not a maneagable course. 
  • now until 23 November?
  • Courses active from 26 November until +- mid/end Jan? Yup - does that work with the plans for the site changes? I think so. We'll need to start gathering feedback earlier than mid/end Jan.
• Courses active for 2-6 weeks - I think 6 is better, but it depends on the way the course is set up (some can run for much longer with very little hands-on from the organiser)

Functionality - what is already set up

• Course basic frame
  • title
  • description
  • content pages
• Social sharing
• 
  

Functionality - what is still coming

• Tagging
• Course lists (community reviewed/featured/staff picks)
• Badges
• Reviews

Questions:

• How do we organize communication between everyone organizing courses?
  • Office hours perhaps? Supplemented by a LOT of email?
• Should we maybe organize a dedicate time to do some course development ( during a community call or maybe longer? )
  • We used to have a "new course organisers" mailing list, which was great. But maybe less formal than that, and just a bunch of group mails (kind of like the way the mech MOoc sends regular updates out?

Next steps:

• 1. Bekka to continue approaching organisers
• 2. Have at least 6 confirmed by 16th Nov
• 3. In the meantime prepare "instruction manual" (animated guides? How-do text? Need to liase with VMG on this)
