• The result? School of Webcraft uses peer learning and open content to scale quality web development training

Anyone can get involved to organize or join a course or study group about web development.
School of Webcraft is where you can learn about open standards-based web development. You can:

• Join a Webcraft study group. Find a topic that interests you and learn with peers.  
• Start a Webcraft study group.  Can't find the subject for you? Suggest a new study group or start one  yourself. It's easier than you think. And we'll help you.
• Help us build and grow. Get on the School of Webcraft discussion list. Or join one of the working groups:
  • Advise and improve Webcraft groups - We want to have the best ongoing learning opportunities for web developers. Help course organisers improve their groups by suggesting useful openly-licensed resources, or by suggesting tasks.
  • Develop Mozilla Badge specifications - we're developing criteria for Mozilla endorsed Badges. It's a new way of certifying developer skills. Get involved and join our advisory board.

P2PU and School of Webcaft put learners in charge, replacing the traditional top-down model with a more open, peer-based model

• Courses are designed, organized, and facilitated by volunteers around the world and everyone learns together as peers. 
• Imagine  the science projects, hobbies and books you've always wanted to  explore; now imagine exploring them with people from around the world
• School of Webcraft and P2PU are all about learning by trying and doing. Sometimes, this means we're experimenting -- which is what makes us exciting!

At School of Webcraft everyone learns together, using existing open content.

• A  wealth of material that helps you learn web development already exists online. P2PU provides the social layer for School of Webcraft -- a network of peers that give  these resources context and life.
• As a part of P2PU, School of Webcraft builds on existing free content and we create our own. All content on  p2pu.org is free and open under a Creative Commons  Attribution-ShareAlike license.
