Hi, my name is Rich. I am curious about P2PU, challenges and teaching online. I have been involved onine education technology for the last 10 years. I am excited about the changes occuring on education and want to be part of the next disruption.
Hi! I'm Emily and my work revolves around connecting people on my campus to each other through open and participatory education strategies. We have hosted design jams for the past few years and facets of the "challenges" model are starting to be used on our campus. I want to be able to more effectively connect the dots between these strategies. I'm interested in finding ways to foster engagement with the School of Data on our campus and this seems a good place to start.
Welcome Emily! Excited to see what type of challenges evolve out of your goals.
Hi! My name is Leah. I want to create challenges as artifacts for my changing research focuses. I just finished a challenge on Open Badges (Open Badges 101) and I just started another called Clean, Healthy, Fit, and Well. I am looking to find out more about manipulating the P2PU system to create engaging challenges.

Hi, my name is Chris and I am a facillitator of a small religious studies reading circle. Still not sure on what sort of challenge topic I would like, but some of my interests include Open Anthropology, Open Folklore, Folklife and Oral History projects, and curating content.
Hi,
I'm Jonas Backelin and I have just completed my first course on P2PU as facilitator, called 'eduToolkit - Promoting Teachers Open Online Learning for Professional Development'. The ‘challenge’ I’m creating is called 'Certified Networked Teacher - The Use of Webtools' [#CNT12] and will be following the ‘Schoolof Ed’ course ‘Empower Your Personal Learning (for teachers)’.
Hello! I'm Håkan and I want to do a challenge about creative writing.
Hullo, I'm Vanessa. I make open textbooks, write poems and conduct research about sharing and creativity.
Collaboratively I'm working on a challenge on writing for the web.
Hi, I'm Bekka, one of the staff members here at P2PU. I'm interested in a whole lot of online learning projects, but for this challenge, I will be thinking specifically about how to create challenges for citizen cyberscience projects.
Hi there,
my name is Anne and I'm curious to learn how challenges might improve intrinsic motivation of students to explore a certain topic. Seems there is a connection to problem-based learning and also to the innovation method Design Thinking which I have been studying and applying.
Hi all. I think challenges complement courses and study groups and would like to develop challenges fo rthe HTML and Python study groups.
Hi
My name is Xavier and I work as an adult literacy teacher in Mallorca. This is my first contact with P2PU and I'm excited to join this course!!!
I'm looking for different ways to facilitate my student's learning and I think challenges would be a good way to do it. So, here I am!
One doubt: should challenges be done individually or it can be solved by a group? 
Hi Xavier! The platform doesn't allow group assessmet right now (we are working on it) but there is no reason why you should not have your students work in groups. Will they be in the same space?
cheers,
Chloe
Nice Chloe, I think it will be a very good improvement!
About your question: yes, I'm thinking in some groups of students sharing the same space.
Thanks!
Xavier
Hello, my name is Brad aka emerika. I am thinking about creating a challenge about understanding electricity usage in order to design a home power by solar, wind or other renewable energies. I decided this was the place to start.
Hello! My name is Laura and I'm involved in the School for Social Innovation. I want to learn how to create challenges that facilitate peer-to-peer learning in social innovation.
Hi, I'm karen. I help organize the School of Ed at P2PU and am interested in challenges as a new way to approach peer learning. I've also facilitated some other courses on P2PU and am looking at redesigning a course on entrepreneurial marketing around challenges.
Hey there! Alison here. I'm working with Luka and Anna on the DIY U redesign.
Hey - I'm Philipp, co-founder of P2PU and based in Cape Town. I have lived through various iterations of the course model and am super excited about the idea of "learning challenges". I'm interested in open governance and am considering a set of challenges in that space. I'd love to make one challenge that helps develop leadership skills by watching and analyzing the West Wing, but am worried that the West Wing is not available for free anywhere.
Hi!
I'm Luka and I'll be helping Alison and Anna out with the DIY U class in Anya's brief absence. I'm also a PhD student at Boston College and I'm researching open education online. I'm excited to get to know more people on this platform!
