PROPOSED DECISION

• We will prepare a template that course organizers can use to start the social contract conversation with the course participants.
• Conversation (social contract development) needs to happen in a public, visible, transparent space.
• It will include reference to:
• The P2PU values: openness (reference to license), community, peer learning
• Expectation from course organizer for the group
• Questions to participants:
• What are your expectations?
• Any questions?
• Introductions

• There is a separate issue of re-confirmation from participants, which we'd like to handle separately. Develop re-confirmation into the course acceptance process on the site.

NOTES

Social contracts can range in execution from an email to accept the acceptance to a collaborative synchronous event where the group sets agreements.

What are we trying to achieve with this?

when people join a p2pu course they should already be aware of values & licensing

Values too fine-printish?

Licensing  shouldn't the site convey this?

Expectations

as a group

as a facilitator

when you talk about expectations, you reinforce the values

Recommendations:

The platform should introduce values and licensing in the latest stage at the sign-up phase.

The social contract is the first message (forum) from organizer to their participants using the P2PU values to explain expectations - openness, peer learning & community

The purpose of this message is to lay the foundation for community building in the course.
