Hi Zuzel, Everyone,

If you want to tell me what you're thinking of in terms of design for the call to action buttons leading people from UCI Open Course Ware to p2pu, I'd be happy to create some mockups for you :) I'm assuming one button with the course name switching out? Or were you thinking one button that just says "See the study group on P2PU" or similar?

Anyone with any ideas on what the button should say, weigh in! 

Happy to help!
