The Peer 2 Peer University P2PU
- Link to P2PU
"The Peer 2 Peer University is an online community of open study groups for short university-level courses. Think of it as online book clubs for open educational resources. The P2PU helps you navigate the wealth of open education materials that are out there, creates small groups of motivated learners, and supports the design and facilitation of courses. Students and tutors get recognition for their work, and we are building pathways to formal credit as well.
Find out more about what P2PU courses look like, and consider creating your own."
Oh boy, this project looks interesting! Though, you got to be patient, because you cant sign up for any courses before early 2009. In the meantime, you can join the mailing list, and be part of the fun before the big launch.
LEARNING STRATEGY?
P2PU learning experience is based on interaction between peers in small communities. They will offer scheduled "courses" that run for 6 weeks covering university-level topics. Learning takes place in small groups of 8-14 students. Each course package contains the syllabus, study materials and a schedule. Courses are designed by someone with expert knowledge, a "sense-maker", and facilitated by a "class tutors" who is familiar with the content, and can support the group of students...bla, bla.
In a nutshell, we can complete the courses faster than usual, enjoy small learning groups, and that makes a lot of learning sense to me.
I think eventually I will have to join and be part of this potentially great learning adventure. And it is wonderful that there happens to be at least one passionate Norwegian Viking (Stian Håklev) behind the scenes. You need real passion, will and support to enable such projects to succeed, and it looks like they have already established a strong team. In short, lets explore :)
