Hi Jane

I don't know if we've been that great at communicating this, but the whole
drive behind courses as they are running on beta.p2pu.org is to improve our
current courses on p2pu.org.

We want to eliminate subtle differences between courses, challenges and
study groups that we currently have. These differences includes how things
are displayed, badges, signups and a few other things.

Badges remains important to us and we are planning to keep supporting
badges that are compatible with the Open Badge Infrastructure (
openbadges.org).

At the moment badges are also slightly more complex than we would wish, but
that is a whole different project that we are tackling on its own!

Ask in anythings not clear

Cheers
Dirk
