- Sent to Wikipedia course folks
- Sent to CC4K12 folks
- Maybe bring in Vanessa in after the facilitation call feedback - try to get as agenda item on a P2PU community call
- Pete: don't think that next round of courses will be useful for Wikipedia course, as it will be last round of our grant. SOO second round will be our third round
- Course feedback: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-course-feedback

- Future of SOO
- Landing page - point to dif websites/courses
- Pete: this is kind of already what we're doing
- But we need a way to track users for external sites.
- Participants should be able to enroll through P2PU, but somehow link that up to the course that sits externally
- The ways emails are shared - need to somehow work through Privacy laws versus what info we need to make courses work
- Big picture
- two parts need to develop before SOO can scale:
- 1) platform, tech, communication aspects
- 2) developing community around SOO further - eg. google group, calls
- feels more like an announcement list than a discussion list other than the most active 5-6 people
- explore other ways to engage community more on a personal basis - bring back to P2PU community
- Avenues of involvement for future volunteers (and how to best relay that to volunteers)
- Courses
- Creating and maintaining a stand-alone course
- Facilitating a course with a start and end date
- Peer reviewing courses
- Workshops

- Badges hangout will be April 17: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/Badges_hangout
- peer-based recognition - billy & pete: not an issue for wikipedia and open science data courses
- Pete: reality will be the opposite - even if people have ability to award badge, they will be very hesitant to do it. generally if badge has very clear parameters, then people will follow parameters - thanks to transparency of the badge system.
- When should we launch the next cycle?
- July? Is there some event or other launch event we can coincide with?
- for the courses with educators
- Pete - going to start up another one immediately after - end of April/early May
- 3rd one would start in July if we did it - could probably
- Also do a non-facilitated version - end of april/early may
- funded through July, figuring out internally how to approach going forward

- Roadmap: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/School_of_Open
- Official launch date: February 2013?
- Current partners:
- Open.Michigan: courses?
- building an overview course: https://p2pu.org/en/groups/dscribe-peer-produced-open-educational-resources/ (hoping to get this 80% done by OpenEd next week)
- challenges we need/will build:
- sharing goals for individuals and orgs
- copyright basics
- copyright for nerds
- nuances of ND, NC, SA

- Debrief on Helsinki http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/34360
- Debrief on meeting in Palo Alto - Open Policy Institute & School of Open http://etherpad.creativecommons.org/p/SOO_Oct_5
- User scenarios would be a useful tool for designing P2PU courses; this was a technique that had strong support at the CC meeting.
- How can School of Open best reach outside existing community?
- Course review process ("quality review")
- what we have so fa
- Piet: is the goal of the SOO to pass down an ideology of openness or to cultivate a shared understanding of openness? (and how does course review/gatekeeping push us one way or the other?)
- Philipp: goals are to help people find good courses and useful information; and allow participating organizations to show where they align and what they support (branding is an issue)
- Pete F: I think a model where an "approval" process is also a "mentoring" process can be the most effective, and make it possible to meet both goals (for instance Wikipedia's peer review processes) +1 +1 (excellent idea!)
- we could be using badges as a way to recognize community members that create great courses
- Pete F: this does need careful thought to get it right
- Bekka: Enough interest from community to help improve course
- 3 takeaways - branding for orgs, good design of landing page, community/mentoring process to improve courses
- Upcoming events: Mozfest, CC Latin America regional meeting, CC Asia Pacific meeting, Summit on Open Strategies (Berlin),
- Communicate OER would like to develop a School of Open course on editing Wikipedia, to be conducted in Spring 2013. Is this of interest? What would need to happen? We would also like to explore incorporating badges into our process. See http://conta.cc/Qd8rSx (I know Dave Malicke at Open.Michigan would love to help with this; he'll be at OpenEd) <- great, thanks! We are in touch with a couple people there, but not Dave.
- What's happening for Open Access Week?
- Max Klein at OCLC is developing a simple Wikipedia/Libraries challenge.

School of Open Call - 6 September 2012
9am San Francisco time (pacific)
Participants
- Jane (@janedaily)
- Piet @bagabot
- Dirk @riskycud
- Vanessa (@mozzadrella)
- Molly @mollyali
- Philipp
- Alan
Agenda Core of the call.
- Welcome/Introductions
- Structure for this call?
- Courses everyone is working on. Help/feedback needed?
- Love Emily's "Copyright and Creative Commons: Finding and Making Great Stuff to Share" (link? -not yet publishe) -- how can we incorporate into future CC challenge adapted for elementary school teachers? currently going to be licensed BY-NC-SA
- I have an idea for a course but not sure how much time I can put into building it... sort of an advanced topic: Understanding the Free Culture vs. The World debate. Detailed pros/cons of the different license types. +1 - like re School of Open disc thread on feedback for Get CC Savvy? (Molly shoot an initial note to garner interest at disc list)
- Course on Free culture and what it means
- Taking a step back and looking at the debate overall
- Open Governance course http://pad.p2pu.org/p/open_governance (just my notes from Berlin to kick things off)
- Opportunity to present at MozFest London
- Opportunity to include in course offered at hackerspaces on - how to create a hackerspace (incl. governance)
- P, J, VMG interested in developing, Dirk in hackerspaces - Jane will wrangle initial call
- Skill mapping--VMG (VMG did some great work at bottom of http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-badges so far)
- I had no idea. this is awesome!
- 3 completed courses ready - Jane touch base with Vanessa and connect course organizers
- Open governance for School of Open -- meritocracy system? re Kevin's questions on list: How does one openly, transparently develop a rating system for both courses and instructors that allows learners to gauge what's worthwhile to them? And as instructors gain more reputation, how does that translate into more ability to shape the directions of School of Open?
- P - discussion with different communities about who has what rights? etc. There is a formal way (eg. Wikimedia), and there is informal way (P2PU - very unstructured, but eg. don't get invited to meetings)
- P thinks of course "rating" as review and feedback - would like to see all of that publicy so users can see what comments were left, and how course creators responded
- github does this in a organic way - but there's only one type of user, not learners/teachers.
- Activity helps a lot when trying to see if a project is worth while
- Any project on github has 62 week activity, active or inactive.
- Good idea -> show activity, accomplishments (number of courses created, etc.)
- To minimize possible issues - make sure decisions are made openly and give people an opporunity to chime in
- Jane: We are headed in the right direction and trying to be extremely open in the decision making. Hesitant to formalize too early, but we can investigate this as part of the open governance course.
- Piet: Let's not overthink things. Let's operate under principles of openness and be inclusive. Action speaks louder than formal systems.
- was that the philosophy behind bike polo? haha, and look where that got piet ;-) purely a polo philosophy.
- Upcoming events
- Open Knowledge Festival (Tim, Jess, Philipp, Laura - School of Open & School of Data): http://peerlearningworkshop.eventbrite.com/
- Open Policy Institute meeting in Palo Alto
- People who want to learn more about open policies implemented around the world (mainly government, also institutions)
- Best practices how to get open policies implemented - what about research around how effective open policies are?
- School of Open is a professional development opportunity for policy wonks
- Mozilla Festival: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Festival2012/Submit/Teach_someone_something_with_open_content
- Jane is attending. Running a session on School of Open - get more people involved.
- P might be there (and happy to carry Jane's bag for School of Open session)
- School of Open landing page (schoolofopen.org) - ways to improve?
- Two options and would love to get feedback:
- Improve p2pu.org schools pages so you have more control over content, layout, etc.
- Separate site (maybe a wordpress blog) and an easy way to include / embed / feature courses - e.g. http://schoolofdata.org
- that could be a good feature? don't want to have too many dif places divorced from p2pu
- What would you like to add to the current landing page on p2pu.org
- Show courses at different levels of development (show courses in draft, courses ready for testing, courses ready for taking)
- Space to provide a better description of what the school is (an "about" tab)
- We have most of that already, and I'm hesitant to develop another website - want to keep everything in one place as much as possible
General discussion and questions
- Ah, one thing from Open.Michigan: we'll be devoting 1-2 hours to SoO each week. I'd love to join if there is a virtual component! (we're going to try and do it on Thursdays from 10-11am (ET)) - great, I added to the google calendar: p2pu.org_cpsf6vgs35a5rqq2vn8lul3urs@group.calendar.google.com
