It isn't meant to compete for the "help for newcomers" role. Basically this is intended to be the place where serious community-shaping discussions take place: if the P2PU platform isn't useful for that, who is it useful for? :( On the other hand if it IS useful for that, then it should be useful for everything that the community is interested in and serious about doing! :) It's NOT meant to be a general course on open education, but specifically focused on P2PU issues.
What's the purpose/goal of this group? I think the title is misleading - people interested in how P2PU works, are probably better served by the Help Desk: http://new.p2pu.org/en-US/groups/p2pu-help-desk/.
Could we change the title to something less misleading/confusing? Maybe "Open sourcing education" or "Using open models for online education"?
This heap of updates from "Paragogy library on Zotero" culminated (so far) in this report: http://metameso.org/~joe/report.html (generated by highlighting all of the items of interest, then right-clicking "Generate Report from Selected Items"). I mention this both to explain the chaos and because it seems like a good evidence that Zotero can be used very productively. :)
Sorry, I don't mean to spam the hell out of this group, I just thought it would be useful to hook the Paragogy library in here. Charlie and I are using Zotero as a place to do most of our writing, so for better or worse, updates on that will show up here as well. If it gets too spammy, I'll take away the link. Of course, feel free to join the group on Zotero and contribute bibliographic items and annotations there!
Thinking about my goals for engaging with P2PU. At present the top goals seem to be "understanding the mission and considering the role of community engagement". I'm sure I'm not the only one, but maybe I do seem to be a rather early adopter of the "new" platform. I think it would be great if the new platform could actually be used for this kind of discussion. At the same time I don't want my hyper-social engagement around P2PU to take away from my work on Planetary. Eventually I'd like the two systems to grow together in some useful ways. It would be great to clarify that (but this is definitely a case where I need input from others... and where perhaps time will help as well).
