Open Knowledge Conference

P2PU: Open Community Learning on the Web, Create a course, a school, or a whole university in 90 minutes

Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is moving towards its second anniversary. Within the last year we have formalised the project as a non-profit organisation practising open governance; taken on employees; introduced peer-based assessment and badges; partnered with external organisations to provide curated Schools and continued to grow our community. This workshop will present perspectives on the project from key staff, school representatives (Webcraft and Mathematical Futures) and researchers. Following the short presentations, facilitated workshop sessions invite participants to create courses, identify ideas for potential schools and discuss further research opportunities within the community.
