The guys from 'Learning Creative Learning'[1] course argue that you don't need anything besides P2PU, youtube, wikis, gdocs and etc. to have one of those courses.

From their about page:

"Check out our shiny new platform

Actually, don’t, because we didn’t build a shiny new platform. Our platform is the web and we like things distributed and open. We also wanted to create a model that is easy to replicate for anyone. We use off-the-shelf Google+ tools, like Hangouts and Google+ communities; and open source software like the Mechanical MOOC (github). You have no excuse not to build a course like this yourself!"
