Hi Zuzel,

Attached is a button - Didn't hear anything about size or format, so...I
winged it. Size is kind of important to know (for readability).

We can discuss, trash and then make a new one :)

Good suggestion Pippa, we'll test out how users react to putting schools
under the Learn item. I also really like the verb 'assist' will try that out
in a few places to see how it works.

We're going to draw a lot of attention to Schools on the P2PU homepage and
on the Learn page (possibly a carousel or similar) and also add a single
click jump to the footer. The goal is to give it a try and I think in the
end Schools will actually get more attention than they get now.

Give it a little time and we'll have some mocks to share and get feedback.

Sorry everyone. Was still stuck thinking it was Wednesday, so probably

wouldn't have contributed much in that delayed state of mind :-)

  - *UX / Navigation - **vocabulary - information hierarchy (schools

  specifically)*

  - UX opinion is that Schools doesn't belong in the main section on the

   site - how do we manage this / argue the point / get buy in from the

  community on this?

If Schools can't be in the main menu I think it's important to draw

attention to them somewhere above the fold - the footer is far too hidden.

Giving Schools priority is important for the schools, but I think it's

important for P2PU as it shows the breadth of topics and activity within the

community.

Could schools be listed as a secondary level / drop down under the Learn

item as well as being featured prominently on the Learn page?  Though

Schools don't feel very "active", so from a UX perpective I can see why they

want to move them away.

Learn

- School of Ed

- School of Webcraft etc

And could one of the other levels be "Assist"? That might be an interesting

way of framing participation from people who more specifically want to teach

a course or who have expert advice to give, mentors (at school or p2pu wide)

and would be a great way of getting people involved in the P2PU community

more broadly.

Assist

-- Advise on a course

--Create a course

-- Help build the P2PU project

Assist (webcraft specific)

-- Mentor an individual

-- Create a Challenge

I'm not sure if that's an appropriate way of framing it, but some people

are going to come in the mode of learners and others will be more interested

in sharing knowledge / running a more traditional course.

Hi Everyone,

P2PU and UCI are launching a pilot that would let participants in some
of our courses, go to UCI courses and upon an additional assessment,
receive some form of certification. The social interaction between the
people going through the materials on UCI and taking the courses there
will hapen on p2pu.

This is an example of one of this courses on UCI:
http://ocw.uci.edu/courses/course.aspx?id=25 . Soon there will be a
CSET Mathematics I: Algebra study group/course on p2pu.

We need to add links from the UCI courses to their corresponding group
on p2pu, and we want these links to look nice. Help creating an image
for a call - to - action button that invites people visiting a course
on ocw.uci.edu to join the corresponding course on p2pu is highly
welcome.

We want to add those links to the UCI courses as soon as possible so
they can start adverticing the pilot.

Thanks,
   Zuzel

Yeah, a carousel about the schools would be great, especially as it has the
possibility to provide much more information about what each school does
than is currently possible.

re Assist - we're really kind of restricted in a call to action that is
about supporting learning etc - both support and help imply help desks and
would be very misleading. Hopefully "assist" is clear to users.

I'm looking forward to the mock ups.
