General Topics

The classes will be asynchronous. The theoretical classes will be posted as files on the "Course Material" section. Every lesson will have discussion boards. It is very important to keep the discussions board active - please reserve 5 to 10 minutes a day to check new posts from your colleagues.
We're gonna have some presential meetings via Skype or our Chat section, that are likely to occur on Saturdays. I'll let all of you know when we need this kind of meeting.
I'll post during the lessons some multimedia content and some small trivias.
Please notice that you're free to agree or desagree with the opinion of people, but be sure to be polite and justify your reasons.
It is extremely important to dedicate yourself to having good results, as the combination of all of our potential can make the P2PU platform reach more and more people.
