At P2PU, people work together to learn a particular topic by completing tasks, assessing individual and group work, and providing constructive feedback.
This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Let's build the best Javascript Basics course for School of Webcraft!
We're looking for participants to develop the Javascript Basics study group - to define learning outcomes, identify the best free resources to learn from, create meaningful tasks and develop a plan for learners to work through. To get involved, sign-up to P2PU and press the "Participate" button below.
This study group is under development and will eventually hold 6 weeks of excellent content and tasks helping people learn Javascript Basics. Participants will be able to join at any time and will have the option of following through at their own pace or can join with others to commit to 6 weeks of learning.
posted message: I'm very sorry, but I am unable to organise this group due to heavy formal study commitments for my graduate program and a change in my working situation.
I invite other organisers and participants to identify how to proceed with the course and the development of Javascript Basics. If you wish to ask for advice please send me a private message.
Once again, I'm sorry that I can't help out as I originally intended.

posted message: Apologies everyone - the rest of my life has got in the way so I was unable to organise a meeting for the previous week. There's been some amazing discussion in the other Javascript group which is valuable input for this group.

Where possible we should reuse as much of that group's content as possible but to provide some more curation and clarity.
When I'm aware of my schedule in Australia (spending time with a ill family member) I'll reschedule the meeting.
posted message: I'd like to organise a meeting so that we can get identify the core goals and direction for this group.
I have to be in Australia from May 31st which makes identifying call times very difficult. So if we can find a time for the next week that would be great.
Please share your best times for a call by this Doodle.

We'll use the P2PU conference line for the call.

posted message: Great question @Shane. The primary audience for this working group is B - Designers / Web Developers who know HTML and CSS but who need to learn Javascript to round out their skill sets.
It's great that you've identified the other audiences. Perhaps we can use them as a way to help sort out resources and tasks and to then build out study groups for those audiences (eg. Learn to Program (Using Javascript) and Javascript Basics (For experienced programmers).)
Creating a Task around "Defining the Group's Audience"
posted message: I have a question for the purpose of this study group which I think will help to develop its direction - WHO is this course aimed at? Is this aimed at programmers who are already familiar with programming, at designers who know a lot of HTML/CSS plus a little programming but need to learn Javascript for their jobs, or is this aimed at complete novices who know nothing about programming? The material presented for each of these groups is distinct and trying to make one study group that fills the needs of all three is going to lead to a set of materials and tasks that is very incoherent and confusing.
