This is a checklist for new organizers and community members who will help review new courses before they begin. You can use the handbook to guide you through this process. 

When you're ready send a link to your course to p2pu-community at googlegroups.com or your respective school for review. Currently, only site admin (various community members) have the ability to move a course from "draft" to "open". They will do this once course pages have the fulfilled the following list:

Course Organizer (you)

• You have added at least basic information to your profile on P2PU (good example, pictures with funny eyewear are actively encouraged) 
• You've checked out the get involved page (to see if there are other mailing lists or groups you want to join) 

Your Course ( http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/)

Once you have created a course on P2PU.org make sure the following details are present:

• The course has a clear title.
• The course has a picture.
• The course tweet is framed as the question that the course is exploring.
• The summary is concise.
• Basic learning objectives are clearly stated on the course page.
• Instructions for when and where course meetings occur are clear (see meeting tools below).
• Prerequisites are clearly stated.
• The application has a comprehensive sign-up task. Courses expecting a high volume of applicants should have very strong sign-up task. This weeds out applicants that are unlikely to commit.
• Information about the course organizer (you) is included. 

Syllabus

• All links are active and working.
• Each week has clear tasks and goals.
• If participants are encouraged to change and edit the syllabus, information that they can do this is clearly provided.

Meeting Tools

• If you are hosting synchronous meetings, you have identified this on your course page along with instructions on how to use the communication tool (chat, skype, voxli, free conference call, etc.).
• If you are using a video/voice conference tool, you have practiced using it before the course begins.
• If you expect to have many participants, you are confident the tool can support a large group (6+) without kicking people off (skype and toxbox, for example, are not ideal for large groups).
• If you expect to have an international group of participants, you have arranged a clear space for participants to provide their availability (whenisgood.net is great for this).
