+==== Content ====
+    * First objective: polish up the core of it enough to make it useful for people with a moderate knowledge base e.g. campus leaders
     * **“Program requirements”**
-      * Which seminars are “must do” for the core?
+      * Prioritize: **Apologetics** and **Strategy** first (we have the content but need to polish)
-      * rank/prioritize
+        * Heart Apologetics and Politics: Have some content, but need more :. Can start fleshing out 100-level but less of a priority
-      * AND are any seminars missing?
+    * **Seminars to Update/Polish:**
-        * E.g. would Culture Wars content be useful…?
+      * Apologetics
-        * *heart apologetics needs to be fleshed out
+        * 100
-      * Assess core vs. elective, and figure out which stuff is way out of scope and not yet relevant
+          * PBA100Y
-    * Eventual goal: have ALL of it polished and ready, including more obscure electives and stuff; we want the layout of the new classroom to be **easy to add to**, esp. as apologetics approaches change and get refined
+          * Maybe: move PBA202H to 100 level? I.e. “what is abortion?” Surgical methods, plus video?
-    * What is attainable for the summer?
+          * Move “PBA120Y why victim photography” to strategy?
-    * To put a different way, what would be most critical to have available in the fall?
+          * Recommend bringing back [[utsfl:classroom:seminars:pba105h|PBA105H]] as a Personhood 1.0 seminar
-      * have 3-4 modules which, when grouped together, could function for an intro apologetics workshop? Useful for XAA groups, campuses, etc. E.g.
+        * 200
-        * Dialogue strategies - show, don’t tell -- ask Q’s, tell stories -- CG/A/Q -- etc.
+          * PBA 201H - embryology
-        * Science 101 - fertilization, HR argument, etc.
+          * PBA205h: update to start with a more general seminar on personhood?
-        * Philosophy 101 - personhood - SLED, human + x
+            * responding to challenges re: personhood of the pre-born (e.g. discriminatory history of personhood) -- or would this be more appropriate in the 100 level?
-        * Heart apologetics - majorly needs work
+            * Functionalism can then fall under this as extended reading?
-          * Ignorant vs. denial (vs. apathetic?)
+            * Other things re: personhood?
-            * Seek to understand, Love, Inspire, BeInspired
+          * PBA203Y - medical dilemmas
-              * there is some great content on this on the CCBR website, but a lot of it is in the blog section
+          * Link to further reading re: maternal health in countries with stricter abortion laws vs. in countries with more liberal abortion laws
-        * Social reform - AVP?
+          * PBA210H: Bodily autonomy 1.0
-  * **What else is out there?**
+        * 300
-    * Besides UTSFL classroom and CCBR classroom
+          * PBA303H: double-effect reasoning
-    * Other good sources of apologetics material, strategy material, etc. that we can pull from
+          * PBA305Y: Peter Singer’s philosophy - speciesism and functionalism
+          * PBA310: Violinist (bodily autonomy 2.0)
+      * Strategy
+        * 100
+          * PBS100Y
+          * Move PBA120Y here as first one?
+          * PBS120Y
+          * CCBR’s material can be pretty easily slotted in here
+        * 200
+          * PBS200Y
+            * but break this down a lot, into 2-3 seminars?
+            * Reforming our movement...
+            * Theory of change
+            * EndTheKilling plan
+==== Layout ====
+  * How will website be organized?
+    * By stream?
+    * By “playlist” of recommended viewing?
+  * Default setting is important as most will opt for this setting
+  * How should we organize it by default? What are alternatives?
+  * Separate page with a “guide to the classroom”? E.g. self-study vs. group study...recommend different “batches”...
+  * Photos to highlight--featured presentation of certain, more important seminars
