Hi Tom,
thnak you very much for this information. For us it, is very interesting to see the courses like this and I would love to find people to translate these courses. Hope we will find some. There is also a mailinglist for the school-of-open initiative: https://p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-open/
As far as I know, they are happy about any support to get Soo international.
Best regards, Elly

Talking about adapting the education program to the future, please, see the links bellow with the courses about Wikipedia. I've contacted the author of the course, Max Klein. Let's see how can we improve it. :)

There is a Wikipedia-related course at the P2PU community: https://p2pu.org/es/groups/wikipedia-aim-for-featured-article/
Wow, that is great! Thanks for sharing, Pau.
There is also this course, which is quite interesting! And even better that P2PU uses an adequate license, differently from Coursera, which needs to login to access its classes.
Another course in this School of Open
https://p2pu.org/en/groups/open-access-wikipedia-challenge/
This course has very few content compared to the assignment material prepared for the Orientation sessions. If the assignment material is shared with them, they will probably appreciate it.
We definetly should find ways to improve P2P courses remixing both resources and talk to them. In the other course I link above, Open Acess Wikipedia Challenge, the instructor uses a really nice software to show him and the screen while teaching how to edit.
For the education program in Brazil we have decided to improve online tutorials for sustainability and scalability reasons, thus that is a first step for what we had in mind! I can talk to them later.
