Welcome to this month’s roundup of everything that has happened in the P2PUniverse. We’ve stripped down our newsletter so that we can cram more info in for you. We hope you like it… Course News: P2PU Courses are getting better and better – if you don’t believe us, just take a look at this gem…
At the start of this year we sketched out a rough tech roadmap. Now is a good time to report on some of the work we’ve done since then, and our plans for the rest of the year. One big shift we made is to move away from thinking of P2PU as one big software…

Whatever their learning experiences look like, we’ve always offered support to organisers and facilitators via our “How to Create a Course” course….
