[Rebecca Kahn]

*Welcome to the P2PU (mostly) monthly update. This is our way of filling you
in on all the news about our site development, new study groups and courses,
and general P2PU news straight to your inbox. *

   - *We've moved!*
   The move to our wonderful new site p2pu.org took place last week, and it
   couldn't have been smoother. Many thanks and mad props to the wonderful dev
   team and everyone who gave their time and smarts to making this happen
   - If you have any questions about how to create, run, join or participate
   in a study group or course on the new site, check out our brilliant handbook

exciting and innovative courses – take a look at some of the new ones which

   *Baroque Art History of Italy, Spain and the Netherlands*.
   This study group examines the history of Western art in Italy, Spain, and
   the Netherlands.  It represents the first two units of a course available at
   The Saylor Foundation <http://www.saylor.org/>. By the time you finish
   this course, you will be familiar with the most important art and artists of
   Western Baroque art.

   *Microeconomics: An Introduction
   *Understand how people, businesses, governments and other organisations
   interact in markets via their consumption, production and financial
   behaviours and build a foundation in basic economics.  The open source
   material and study outline come from The Saylor
Foundation<http://www.saylor.org/courses/econ101/>,
   and we will cover Units 1-3 in this six week study group. Participants can
   expect to understand the material through readings, active asynchronous
   discussions and exercises.
