Peer 2 Peer University

We Believe:

The power of community is transformative
The future of learning is not in "disruptive" technologies. It lies in the power of people exploring together.
Open is the best way to work
Anyone can join, make or contribute to a P2PU experience. We are a 100% open organisation.
Peers working together can move mountains
Our courses nurture sharing, connection, and help folks feel generally comfortable on the internet.

We Know:

Real people sustain engagement
Working with your peers keeps you engaged in a course.
Feedback improves projects
Deep, substantative feedback makes your project better.
Comfort leads to learning
When you tinker, play and feel comfortable, you spend more time on a learning project.
There are several paths to the answer
People learn in different ways, and we design for diversity.

Who are we?

A passionate & powerful team of mostly volunteers.

P2PU would be nothing without our inspiring community, who are the core of our open activities. This community is made up of people from all over the world, who are working together to build a new kind of university online. Sound good? Then we'd love you to join us.

Meet the community

How we work

We're a group of learners, coders, thinkers, practitioners, educators and organizers. We come together on our Discourse community to share resources, recommendations and support each other to build learning communities.

We craft great online learning experiences using the best tools for the job.

We document how we make engaging, innovative, sustainable learning experiences, and we create tools to help you make your own.

We have a regular round table where we discuss big questions in open online learning, share our successes and learn from each other. Guests include folks from Khan Academy, Hack Education, Mozilla and NYU.

We go to conferences to shareour expertise on learning technology, community design and openness.

If you're looking to make a course, get started with our "School in a Box." We also provide consulting services in learning design, technical implementation and community-building.

We offer a great variety of community built courses along with some that were produced in collaboration with our partners
