-This is an example of what an early-stage blueprint idea could look like. It makes use of the [[Education/EduCourse/Blueprint|Blueprint Template]], and provides a rough sketch of the original idea. This is where we'd like projects to be after week 1.
+This is an example of what an early-stage blueprint idea could look like. It makes use of the [[Education/EduCourse/Blueprint|Blueprint Template]], and provides a rough sketch of the original idea. This is a good starting point from which to develop your blueprints.
-Assuming that this is the starting version that I will work on during the next six weeks of the course, it would change based on what I hear in the seminars and feedback from other participants. After six weeks, I'd like to have the basic technology set-up and ready for use, and some pretty solid ideas on who to involve in the seminars, and how to find participants for the course.
+During the course, this draft would change - feedback from other participants will help clarify some of the missing pieces, and the seminars will address a lot of the details one has to think through.
+Starting with something like this, after six weeks, it should be possible to have the basic technology up and running, and some pretty solid ideas on who will participate and why.

+'''How does it work (short!):'''
+* It's a mix of synchronous, hour-long web seminars, a discussion list for most of the interaction between participants, and group work on projects.
+* The course is made up of content that is prepared for the participants (on the wiki, presentations), but comes alive through active participation and engagement. It's designed to be driven by participants, who can contribute and exchange ideas, and support each other.
+* Participation is open to anyone with a project idea, but we will cap the size of the group in order to allow real conversations to happen during the seminars, and foster a sense of community.
 '''Similar projects:''' A number of other initiative exist that look at either open technology, or open licensing, or open teaching - but the mix is unique. The other thing that sets us apart, is the practical approach. Participants work on ''real'' projects.
+* Note to self: add links to other courses here ...
