<p>I’m helping to run <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://p2pu.org/en/courses/77/collaborative-workshops-in-informal-learning-spaces/">a
course on delivering workshop </a>which is going to be
hosted on p2pu.org as part of the School of Open- I’ve
designed some badges and we are due to start sign up on the
22nd of July. While I like to think that we have added our
own special touch, most materials have been gathered from
existing sources. The one thing they all have in common is
that they are all published under open licences.</p>
<p>The main sources have their own excellent websites so if
you want to go straight to the source then check them out

<p>Would you like to be a part of this course? Maybe you
already know a bit about delivering workshops and would like
to share your experiences? Maybe you are new to workshops
and facilitation? Perhaps you can join this course with some
of your colleagues as a way of learning together?</p>
<p>One of the reasons that I am helping to run this course is
to use it as a way of doing some professional development.
I’ve spend some time working with partners from Creative
Commons and the P2PU.org to research and pull together some
of what we feel are the best introductory materials and
techniques on delivering collaborative and interactive
workshops.</p>
<p>This course is a way of bringing existing materials to a
new audience on new platforms (p2pu.org and FLOSS Manuals).
Also by remixing them into an online course it allows people
to share their experiences while they work through the
materials and suggestions for planning a workshop.</p>
<p>We are adding <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://openbadges.org/">Open Badges</a> into the mix
too. We are keeping it simple. If you plan a workshop you
can submit it for peer review to get a badge. And if you
deliver a workshop and take photos and write up your
learning, well that deserves a badge too.</p>
<p>Though online discussion via comments, and via live group
chat sessions we hope to build a community of people who
will plan and then ideally deliver a workshop with peer
support from other course participants.</p>
<p>If you are new to delivering workshops then this is a great
opportunity to learn from a great group of trainers some of
whom have some fantastic experiences to share.</p>
<p>On the other hand, this course is a perfect chance for
existing trainers to experiment with this online learning
tool and community. You can dip a toe in the water while
working with familiar subject matter.</p>
