One year is a long time. A lot has happened at P2PU over the 12 months. And while this time “between the years” is always a good opportunity to look back, I struggle to sit still and not look ahead to 2012 as well. Here are some 2011 take-aways going from the very high-level right [...]
Helping people learn with each other is the most important thing for P2PU to get right. In a few weeks we will be launching “Webmaking 101″ to try new ways of helping (many) more people learn together. It’s a pilot project for the Mozilla School of Webcraft at P2PU that is based around [...]
In April this year, P2PU received a grant from the Hewlett Foundation to “track and validate deeper learning in online peer learning.” Deeper learning is a term Hewlett coined to describe the types of engagement that we associate with open education – combining factual knowledge and hard skills, with dispositions and habits that are topic [...]
I am happy to announce that Peer 2 Peer University has appointed eight amazing open education innovators to its board of directors.
“As a board member and long-time champion of P2PU, I’ve been delighted to see it grow from a base of passionate volunteers into a significant grassroots community of peer learners. P2PU uses social [...]
We have been busy building “the machine” that runs P2PU. The roadmap for School of Webcraft that we posted a few weeks ago shows what we plan to achieve over the course of 2011, but there is a lot of plumbing and wiring that we are putting in place to support these plans, not just [...]
You may have heard that P2PU has started building a new site for it’s community. Well, it’s true, but these are the early days and we wanted to give you an update on the overall timeline and roadmap.
Building a new website for P2PU
Since starting our peer learning adventures on 09/09/09, we’ve learned a [...]
Last week’s newsletter was painful. I needed a break. We all did. So let us return to the simple things, to bread, tomatoes and cheap red wine, to black and white. To suspenders. And to Google Translate, which turns out to be the perfect complement to Adriano Celentano, one of my dad’s favorite singers (yes, [...]
You wanted it. And you got it. Although it wasn’t an easy choice. At P2PU we know exactly what it means when you gotta be strong and you gotta be fast. But we went with something else, because we like white doves, black ninjas (why ninjas?) and are not afraid to show our vulnerability, because [...]
We’ve proven that we can do smooth and we can do hip and hop – but this week we are taking it up a level. We are pulling out all — and I mean ALL — the stops. We literally burn our guitars on stage in golden underwear. Because P2PU is a wild thing!
Wild [...]
24 – 30 July 2010
The week’s lyrical theme is admittedly a little harder, but us let us transport you back to the days when the neon dance floor was alight. And remember, the beat don’t stop till the break of dawn.
I don’t mean to brag. I don’t mean to boast. But we like [...]
What is P2PU?
The Peer 2 Peer University is a grassroots open education project that organizes learning outside of institutional walls and gives learners recognition for their achievements. P2PU creates a model for lifelong learning alongside traditional formal higher education. Leveraging the internet and educational materials openly available online, P2PU enables high-quality low-cost education opportunities.Look Here!
