• "process of agreeing the scope, subject matter, chapter structure and  allocating the chapters to writers was accelerated into a 2 hour process  on the first day of the course sprint and we started writing after  lunch"
• pointing late arrivals to specific pieces of course
• have a plan for technical failure "Due to some rather unfortunate timing we had to abandon the sprint at  the p2pu.org site crashed on it. We migrated to FLOSS Manuals, which is  probably a good thing anyway as at the end of the sprint we were able to  generate pdf, epub as well as the HTML version which is available here -"
• transfer of materials "Using I frames to embed FM pages in P2PU makes a lot of sense. This  solution, propose by Dirk from P2PU solves the problem of updating 2  different sites with updated materials."

Rough Agenda (1.5 hours)

• Intro with "Class of 2012" poster (post-its, markers) - Jess creates and takes a picture so Jane can add to http://www.flickr.com/photos/p2puniversity/8095112337/in/set-72157631786592029/
• Overview of School of Open + questions (30 min) - Jane sent Jess slides

• Round-robin or report back to larger group (30 min) - they teach each other in rotating groups or to larger group if small # of people overall
• Print and hand out one-pager at end or beginning: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/2/26/School_of_Open_One_pager.pdf
  • Also leave some in general meeting foyer?

Overview

Participants will become familiar with the School of Open, context,  philosophy, guidelines. Participants will learn how to teach someone  something open content, by finding, using, and sharing open content on  the web. Participants will also make (and in the process learn how to  design effectively) what they taught into a P2PU course. 

The session will be split up into three parts: 1) Introductory  exercises, 2) Taking an open challenge, and 3) Building the results into  a School of Open course. 

In 1) participants will become familiar with the School of Open, context, philosophy, guidelines. 
In 2) participants will learn how to Teach someone something with open content  by taking the challenge in breakout groups. Participants will then  rotate groups for Round Robin teaching/learning. The skills learned in  this activity: Finding, using, and sharing open content on the web. 
In 3) participants will assemble, edit, and adapt the resources  they found in 2) to create a School of Open challenge or course,  following School of Open guidelines and the 30 minute challenge of making a course.  Skills learned: Designing an effective peer learning challenge/course.  If there is time, participants will also identify the skills (and  potential badges) learned in their course. 

A group of 5 would remain as one or two groups of 2 and 3; a larger  group would be broken up into groups of 3-5, depending on interest. 

The introductory exercises should take at most half an hour;  participants will be teaching each other well into the second part of  the session (which I estimate will occur at 1 to 1.5 hours). Total  session time should be ~3 hours. 

Several new courses created as part of School of Open  with relevant skills mapped; constructive feedback/ways to improve  existing courses, especially Teach Someone Something with Open Content;  feedback to improve the School of Open guidelines; and several new  course creators joining the School of Open community.

School of Open
A School of Open Workshop (Leads: Jane & Philipp)
Universal  access to and participation in research, education, and culture is made  possible by “openness”, but not enough people know what "open" means or  how to take advantage of it. The School of Open is a collaboration  between Creative Commons and the Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) to create  a learning community focused on “open” standards, tools, and practices  and their practical application in life and society. The workshop will  gather key representatives from different “open” sectors to focus the  initiative and start with concrete first steps. We hope to develop a  skills map, compile a set of initial subject areas, identify partner  organizations and initiatives, list existing materials and content and  plan the key milestones for year 1. (note this was original description as written months ago)

REVISED AGENDA TO REFLECT OPEN POLICY FOCUS
include:
* Maybe we can use the "case study" model of Copyright 4 Educators and ask  people to design relevant cases for their courses, based on their  experience, and the questions they get asked frequently. 
* breakout for affiliates

Day Two: School of Open

Internal Objective: To explore School of Open as a professional development resource for the Open Policy Institute, especially those interested in learning more about and how to implement open policies across various domains. To get participants committed to creating courses and/or committed to connecting us to those in their org’s/network who will create courses. Also to possibly get more funding or School of Open.

Internal method: Activities, sessions designed to maximize utility for Open Policy Institute, understanding of School of Open as a supporting resource for education around open policies and education, and fun/interaction/inspiration/understanding.

7:30 - 8:30: Breakfast at Avante for hotel guests

8:30: Shuttles to Carnegie

9-930: Warmup/Spectrogram (+Breakfast for locals)

• Everyone starts by finishing either sentence: 1) "I want to help people (implement / learn about / advocate) for open policies in _______." 2) “I want to help people _____ better by using ___(name open tool, resource, process)___.” “Openness helped me when I needed to _____.”
• Spectrogram activity (do we need this?)
  • It’s important for people to learn about copyright.
  • People need to be taught how to be open. 
  • OUT OF CONTEXT quote "I'd say that promoting open is not so much about telling people how to do it, but to tell them why to do it." - John Weiztmann, CC Germany

930-1000: Overview/Background. Philipp and Jane introduce P2PU, School of Open, relation to an Open Policy Institute, and current progress to date. (Jane will prepare slides and handouts, if necessary.)

• Clarify that though this workshop will specifically explore how School of Open can support the Open Policy Institute, the initiative has a much larger scope than that.

1000-1030: Constructing use cases and role-playing (in pairs according to areas of interest stated in warmup)

• Brief overview: Draft philosophy, draft guidelines. There will be a chance to give feedback on both later in the day.
• Create your own user scenario looking at draft guidelines. Who are you trying to help? Make someone up or think about a real life situation a person in the group has been in where openness would have helped, eg. (insert policy related example) 
• List three open resources (a piece of content, a tool, or a process) that might help them more effectively achieve their goals. 
• Come up with a list of questions that user would ask.

1030-1100: Prioritizing focus areas (for this group)

• As a large group go through user scenarios and post to wall.
• Collaboratively organize and cluster similar scenarios on the wall and add categories/headings as appropriate. Are there any missing focus areas we want the School  of Open to cover in the next 6 mos? How about in the next year? 
• Write your name and affiliation under those focus areas where you have the most interest in developing or helping to develop a course, reviewing/improving, or know people/orgs that would. 
• Brief overview of course design (https://p2pu.org/en/groups/make-a-course/ ) and existing completed courses:
  • Teach someone something with open content: https://p2pu.org/en/groups/teach-someone-something-with-open-content/
  • Teach someone something with open content, part 2: https://p2pu.org/en/groups/teach-someone-something-with-open-content-part-2/
  • Get CC Savvy: https://p2pu.org/en/groups/get-cc-savvy/

1100-1115: Coffee Break

1115-1200: First break-out: Drilling down on focus areas (6 groups of 4)

• Housekeeping: Facilitator, note-taker, report-backer rules.
• Break out according to top 3-6 focus areas determined in last session. Pick a lead facilitator from post-its. Can have repeat groups, eg. two Open  Access groups if there is enough demand. Each group comes up with:
  • Top 3 course ideas. School of Open course guidelines (http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-guidelines).
  • Top 3 partners (individuals or partnering orgs that should/would develop these courses). Don’t just name the partners -- provide  their contact information/how to best get in touch/how to approach.
  • Report back.

1200-1215: Report back

• Report-backer gives concise overview of the top 3 courses and top 3 partners their group chose. Notetaker’s responsibility to transfer notes to etherpad  (if not already done so).

1215-1315: Lunch

1315-1355: Second break-out: Creating courses.

• Start creating a course in groups. Building on momentum from last session, choose one of the top 3 course ideas and flesh it out. Go through steps of http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-guidelines. Think of the design as a series of tasks or steps, with an exercise and discussion questions for each. 
  • Delia will lead the course on Copyright 4 Educators.
  • Philipp will lead... ? Affiliate break-out?
• Resources: 
  • How to make a course in 30 minutes challenge: https://p2pu.org/en/groups/make-a-course/.
  • Existing completed courses that we went over earlier.
  • List of existing resources on openness: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-resources.

13:55-14:30: Third break-out: Mapping skills to your course. 

• Present example of skills mapped to Teach someone something with open content: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/Teach_someone_something
• Pass out (revised) rough list of "open" skills previously brainstormed for people to start from: http://pad.p2pu.org/p/school-of-open-badges
• Exercise: Which skills does your course cover? Are there additional skills your course covers that are not listed? What are they?
• Continue building on course, make sure initial draft is recorded on a pad with all participant's names or that a draft has been started on the P2PU platform.

14:30-1500: Closing circle.  Everyone says one takeaway from the day, and one thing they will contribute to the School of Open going forward (name focus area). Commitments taken down in writing by Jane. Pass around sign-up to discussion or announcement list.

15:00-15:15:  Shuttles to Hotel Avante (for those who are returning to hotel). Others  arrange their own ground transport (taxicab or pick-up only) directly  from Carnegie.

Introduction in the beginning/ ice breaker /
Open Dance; 
+ What made the experience fun? i.e. you could remix someone elses dance moves, the music, 
Rules
similar to Hack the dance but with an extra round were we select the favorite dancer from the previous round, ask everyone to get something valuable like money or an object in their hand.
and start taking out things that were fun earlier, like ability to remix, you have to copy the exact moves, you have to pay the person each time you want to use their moves.
+ Why was this later experience not fun?
