Publish and promote!

Turn on your course, get the word out, get started.

Your tasks:

Post the URL of your live P2PU course.
Promote your course.
Apply for a Challenge Creator Badge.

Step 1: Flip the switch!

On the front page of your course, click "Edit Study Group" or "Edit Course."

Visit the "Status and Dates" menu in the admin interface, and uncheck the "Under development" check box.

To being accepting participants, go to Sign Up option in the Admin menu, and choose whether you'd like the sign up to be completely open, moderated, or closed.

Step 2: Own the blogosphere.

We're here to help you get the word out about your ridiculously sweet course. A few ways to get started with promotion:

Contact the community list. We have a robust community Google group at p2pu-community@googlegroups.com. Drop us a line and we'll spread the word!
Featured course. Contact our Community Manager, Bekka Kahn bekka@p2pu.org for the opportunity to be the featured course on the site.
Write a blog post. You can post to your own blog, or let Bekka know and we'll post it on ours!
Google AdWords. If you're interested in running an ad campaign, think about a few potential ads and a bunch of keywords. You can contact vanessa@p2pu.org and we'll go from there.

Hooray!

I am working at my challenge bit by bit- filling in the text and making the intro videos (which I think it a great way to connect with the participants). It should be done next week or the week after, and then I'll publish it for all of P2PU to see!

Thanks AJC (sorry, I like monograms), last weekend I worked on editing my challenge, and I think this weekend I will try to work on a promotion plan. I think I have 5 peers that have started the challenge so far, and I am totally open to suggestions on how to bring in more.

Hey CC,

I'll draft up a short post for our blog and share on twitter - do you recommend any target organizations or #hashtags?

let me know what you thing, I am going to take it myself, possibly try to find a shorter video to replace the one included, and maybe change up some of the visuals and other small changes before I apply for the badge.

Thanks

So I think I have a School of Ed course that I think this challenge course can work for. Would love any feedback anyone has. Thanks in advance!

This is a really well written challenge Karen, great work. One thing is that I would make the final deliverable a bit more concrete. What can the participants do or make to show how the different collaborators worked together? how can they present their projects? What platform will they use to do so... for example should they use Skype's teacher collaboration platform?

karen said:

Thanks for the suggestion. I modified this a bit.

Question for you: Where do P2PU users see all the challenges that are available?

Chloe said:
