[p2pu-dev] Notes from Community Call: 27 October 2011

[Rebecca Kahn]

October? More like Rocktober. We tore through yesterday's meeting like a
1980s hair band. And that's despite some of us being sick and many of us
being torn between 2 meetings.
So thanks to all the rockstars who were there, it was a great, short, sweet
little ballad of a community call.

As always, the notes, and chat transcript can be found on the etherpad:

   - Multimedia and Graphics to Facilitate Deeper Learning (
   http://p2pu.org/en/groups/multimedia-and-graphics-to-facilitate-deeper-learning/)-
developed and facilitated by Steve O'Connor, an OER-using teacher in
New
   York. (I'm in it as a participant.) Steve has developed a whole series of
   excellent interactive videos just for this course. Not only is this content
   top-rate, but this is a topic of great interest to anyone who does
   multimedia content development.



*Mozilla Festival [John]*
http://pad.p2pu.org/mozilla-festival-london

   - John will be heading up logistics


   - There will be a P2PU booth

*Cycles @ P2PU*

   - What's the plan?


   - Start with monthly cycles, beginning right after the workshop


   - Some dev work need:


   - Promotion via the blog/twitter/facebook/mailing lists


   - Alison and John to talk and execute a plan.


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/rounds


   - GOAL: Next cycle begins after the Berlin workshop with all of our
   learning experiments featured.



Workshop

   - Bekka is awesome and on top of everything


   - Agenda stuff:


   - http://pad.p2pu.org/workshop - learning experiments


   - What is a Learning Experiment?


   - could be a course, an idea, a learning plan, something you'd like to
   try


   - It should be something you are prepared and able to see thorugh to
   completion


   - the idea is that everyone should come to the workshop with something
   concrete to DO.


   - We'd like to get people to using the site, and pushing the boundaries
   of the site capabilities.


   - If we can build some of these at the workshop then we can leave with
   concrete, completed mini-projects.


   - How can we get people to contribute ideas for sessions?


   - How can we make contact with free culture groups/open ed/people in
   Berlin


   - Template to share:


   - Pippa


   - Philipp


   - Open Knowledge Foundation


   - Michelle Thorne (Pretty swamped with festival planning)
