Interview Questions for Promo Blog Posts

[Alan Webb]

Hi everyone,

We're going to be writing blog posts to tell the more personal side of each of your stories for how these courses came to be, to put out there on the interwebs and to be useful to you in helping promote your courses.

I've thought of these questions so far, but do any of you want to add to the list of common interview questions?

- What inspired you about this topic in particular and made you want to launch this course?  A specific experience?

- What impact do you hope this course will have?

- Who will ideally benefit most from the course you are planning?  What kind of people are you hoping will join?

- Can you give us a photo of you (portrait or action-shot) to attach to the post?

Great idea,

I know Bekka has been writing some blog posts featuring different courses on the main P2PU blog in the past. Also, make sure this blog is added to the P2PU planet (blogs.p2pu.org/planet) - just let me know the feed (whether you want the whole blog, because it will only be blogging about stuff related to P2PU, or only the feed of a given keyword).

You should definitely ask questions about what attracted them to open & peer-to-peer learning rather than "teaching".

Hi Alan,

I think these are great questions for the purposes of advertising the
courses. I might revise the questions a little bit to make them
simpler/broader:

- Why did you decide to launch this course?
- What goals do you have for the course?
- What kind of people are you hoping to join? What interest areas
should they have?
- Can you give us a photo of you to attach to the post?

We might ask the question "What do you wish I asked?" - sometimes this
produces nothing, but more often than not you get something
interesting.
