<b>Preparing for the Open Video Course Sprint</b><b><br>
</b><br>
On the 15th & 16th of December, we will create a course on Open
Video for the upcoming School of Open on P2PU.org. <br>
<br>
We using a course of this kind as a way of mapping the knowledge and
experience of the participants of the OVF. We know that this is an
area where technology is emerging and changing quickly. The P2PU
based course is a format that specifically designed for informal
peer-exchange of knowledge. It's more structured than a series of
wiki pages but less formal than a text book or full curriculum. <br>
<br>
If you are interested in helping us create the course - Sign up
here. - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
