We are currently getting ready for Round 2 (draft timeline). There will be few updates on this website while we build our new home (with Drupal and Open Atrium). We are also working on a set of new courses. Keep an eye on our blog http://blogs.p2pu.org for news, and follow us on twitter @p2pu (#p2pu).
If you are interested in designing and hosting a course, check out the orientation process.
For more detail on what is coming, have a look on the workshop page, where we posted all the notes from the Berlin meeting.
The Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) 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.
Give us some love and put our T-Shirt badge on your blog - link back to www.p2pu.org. Check out people wearing our shirts. If you want one, get it here.
A word from the participants:
Bob Metry (Non-fiction writing course):"We all have much to learn. Shakedown cruises are intended to test systems, to find and fix flaws. So far I believe the P2PU team is, borrowing other nautical terms, right on course (pun intended) toward its maiden voyage. Wishing you calm seas and following winds."
