tailored to websites, although the same steps apply to most other works.
* *Open Science: An Introduction
<https://p2pu.org/en/courses/5/open-science-an-introduction/>* --
This course is a collaborative learning environment meant to
introduce the idea of Open Science to young scientists, academics,
and makers of all kinds. Open Science is a tricky thing to define,
but we've designed this course to share what we know about it,
working as a community to make this open resource better.

issues.

of openness in education. The main goal of the course is to give you
a broad but shallow grounding in the primary areas of work in the
field of open education.
* *A Look at Open Video
<https://p2pu.org/en/groups/a-look-at-open-video/>* -- This course
will give you a quick overview of some of the issues, tools and
areas of interest in the area of open video. It is aimed at students
interested in developing software, video journalists, editors and
all users of video who want to take their knowledge further.

<https://p2pu.org/en/groups/contributing-to-wikimedia-commons/>* --
A sister project of Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons is a repository of
openly licensed images that people all over the world use and
contribute to. This challenge gets you acquainted with uploading
your works to the commons.
* *Open Detective <http://beta.p2pu.org/en/courses/8/open-detective/>*

content and how to tell the difference.
