So, what is going to happen with this course?

Go back to: General discussion

"Dear All, it has been a hard decision that I would have liked to avoid, but
due to unforeseen personal circumstances I have to withdraw my participation
at p2pu and this course. Apologies for the inconvenience and best of lucks! --RS -- "

Is there anybody available to pick up where Ricardo left off?  Or, Ricardo, could you finish uploading all the materials that you have (the rest of the exercise zips) so that we could work through it ourselves?

It would be a shame not to continue in some way.

I'd second that on posting the exercise! I suspect committed students could learn a lot just by working through them. We'd certainly get more out of it than just killing the course altogether.

Tapesofwrath, Chris: I couldn't agree more. It would be awesome if the course could pull together and keep working. Maybe add/edit the syllabus according to the background and expertise that the individuals bring to it.

It would be the first time that learners take over a course while it's running. We'd love to see that happening.

Hi Creative Programming participants!

I'm really inspired by your willing to carry on in spite of Ricardo's circumstances. This is what the peer-to-peer experience is all about. We want you to know that you have our full support as you carry on.

The best way to get administrative style questions answered is to join http://groups.google.com/group/p2pu-new-courses and post there.

I'll join this course, as well, to help keep an eye on things.

Best Regards,

ALISON COLE

I'd also like to voice my support for taking advantage of the situation that we've been given so that we can all further ourselves. We are extremely lucky because Ricardo's syllabus is complete enough to allow us to continue on through readings and assignments, even the discussion threads necessary are discussed. Uploading the other .zips would be valuable.

Perhaps it would be helpful to have a role-call of those still interested in participating in a more collaborative group-learning effort, as well as some of the skills and knowledge they think they could contribute so that we could, as Philipp Schmidt suggests "Maybe add/edit the syllabus according to the background and expertise that the individuals bring to it." I think that they may even exist already as one of the 5 questions in the course application.

I think it is exciting to be in a group like this, wherein we can all- in varying stages of understanding an expertise- work towards a common goal of group knowledge, and I hope to hear from more interested people soon.

Thanks to P2PU, and Ricardo, for his effort thus far.

Great idea on the roll call. I've posted a thread here:

http://p2pu.org/node/5596/forums/9703

I also posted a thread on the Processing.org forum asking if anybody would like to join the course and help guide us. I'm sure that even somebody with some intermediate experience could be a great help:
