It's possible to run a course in virtually the same way as before. But the idea is to use terminology, and small changes, to encourage behaviors that make it easier to transitions into a more peer-led model in the future:<div>
- breaking down the syllabus into discrete tasks. <br>- changing terminology</div><div>- turn sign-up task into a social contract</div><div><br></div><div>Changes (in the prototype) that we don't have enough experience with / data on to know how to build in future releases:</div>
<div>- Planning to standardize sign-up tasks to reframe sign-up as a positive activity that boostraps a social contract (see background in the lighthouse ticket).</div><div>- Pushing content pages that are not tasks into external sites (or hacking tasks to be used as other content)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Something that was discussed which will not make it into the first prototype:</div><div>- Ability to state a user has "completed" a task or study group</div><div>- Main reason is that we felt this is actually very complex to do right, and we'd want to think about it more</div>

I am reading the Study Group Lighthouse page. This was mentioned in the blog post as well. I still don't quite understand exactly the difference from the old course model - how much of this is a different philosophy / different technological implementation, and how much is a new terminology? For someone who thought he was planning to run a course, and now has to run a study group, in a few weeks, this is pretty important. Could you specify exactly what is different from the old "courses"?<br>

We posted an general update about the development of our new site to<br>
the blog today:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://blogs.p2pu.org/blog/2011/03/29/a-new-website-for-p2pu/" target="_blank">http://blogs.p2pu.org/blog/2011/03/29/a-new-website-for-p2pu/</a><br>
<br>
We also want to get more feedback and input to the design ideas for<br>
the prototype (keeping in mind that this is a "minimal viable product"<br>
- not the long-term full fledged site) and the bigger ideas for the<br>
future.<br>
<br>
In the last few weeks, we held two technology design meetings (in<br>
Toronto, and San Francisco) to come up with a high-level roadmap for<br>
the new site. We created wireframes with more detailed descriptions of<br>
the features we intend to build for the prototype. Please submit your<br>
comments directly in lighthouse, or post here to discuss.<br>
