# New Peer2Peer University Courses!


There is so much exciting going on at [P2PU](http://p2pu.org), that if I
hadn't been moving tomorrow, and if my MA thesis was not due in a week,
I could have written many long posts. For now, I wanted to make a quick
list of all the new courses - there is an official course listing page,
but it's a bit unwieldy at the moment (we're working on it). So far
there are 30 amazing courses offered, more than twice of what we had
during the last cycle. In addition to the 18 "normal" courses, we also
have 12 courses that are part of the exciting new [School of Webcraft
initiative](http://www.drumbeat.org/p2pu-webcraft/about), in
collaboration with Mozilla Foundation.

Below I have listed all the new courses, with the title, and a
tweet-sized introduction.
