The world of learning is changing
The internet has opened new doors to a vast amount open educational resources and materials
Anyone can access these open educational resources
but access doesn't always equal learning...[00:13]
...What if... a space existed where people could come together and cultivate open materials..
to learn with and from each other
building a social legacy around the internet's abundant educational resources.. [00:25]
It does exist and it's called P2PU.. [00:29]
Our model is exciting because it allows people from all over the world to connect, share, and take ownership of their education
it's free and open so that no one is left behind. [00:40]

our organization is run by the entire community of users (diverse large network)
Where anyone can give input and influence governance decisions (meeting in a circle shape, hippie style)
anyone can contribute to the code that constitutes our platform (geeks that look cool with black glasses, haha)
anyone can study, learn or teach the subjects that inspire and captivate them (people conversing and looking inspired, but not teacher/student style)
we re a real community and we live here: at P2PU.org (use web logo, images, etc - love the original drawing of earth morphing into p2pu, that was great)
