sorts of great new learning in 2012.

Thanks to everyone who made the call today, it was short and sweet. Here
are the notes, and as always, the full notes, old notes and chat transcript
can be found on the etherpad: http://pad.p2pu.org/community2

Also, check out Philipp's 2011 in Review blog post: (

kicker!

   - challenge sets http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-webcraft/ -
   this is a new feature


   - task inline badge submissions
   http://alpha.p2pu.org/en/groups/test-webmaking-101-4/content/task3/ -
   this is a new feature


   - Can we inline challenges into standard course tasks?


   - Can we integrate the 'good feedback' badge into task discussion posts?


   - Similarly, the "publishing" badge would be helpful to affirm
   participants' efforts in courses. This badge exists.
   http://p2pu.org/en/badges/publishing/


   - Zuzel ->


   - Sections displaying info about badges inside the challenges needs to
   be extended to be available for courses


   - We need to decide how the association of badges/courses will happen at
   a bigger scale:


   - have some badges that are associated to all courses by default


   - implement the UI for courses to choose a subset of the available badges


   - In the case of the Publishing Badge it is a badge awarded for being
   able to install an FTP or SFTP client, upload content that is visible live
   in a browser.


   - Another name, description and image will be needed for badges to
   affirm participants efforts in courses


   - Could also need another awarding mechanism (not necessarily)
