The ''Peer 2 Peer University '' ('''P2PU''') is a new (2009) online community of open study groups for short university-level courses.

Credit courses are not yet available, but as the web site notes, the founders "are building pathways to formal credit".

Per the P2PU web site:

:The mission of P2PU is to leverage the power of the Internet and social software to enable communities of people to support learning for each other. P2PU combines open educational resources, structured courses, and recognition of knowledge/learning in order to offer high-quality low-cost education opportunities. It is run and governed by volunteers.

:Currently P2PU is in a pilot phase. To begin P2PU will offer scheduled "courses" that run for 6 weeks and cover university-level topics. Each course package, organized by a course volunteer, contains the syllabus, study materials, and a schedule. Learning will take place in small groups of 8-14 students

Initial funding and support come from the Hewlett Foundation, the Shuttleworth Foundation, and the University of California at Irvine.


The P2PU is based at the the University of California at Irvine in Irvine, [[California]], [[US]].


The P2PU web site is at http://p2pu.org
