Before we had the activity wall so you could see all the great things that the community was doing. But I didn't do any usability/marketing testing to see if it was effective to get people to join and stay active :)

It might be a good way to encourage participation? Become an active user and be showcased here.

We have a 'challenge' group type right now. Does that mean 'study group' and 'course' are no longer pickable in the future? That everything works toward an assessed skill badge?

That's more of a question for John. He has a better grasp of the direction of P2PU than I do. I'm assuming that we'll be keeping the study groups and courses and applying the popular updates we make to challenges to them.
