  I wrote the ebook A teacher's guide to eLearning after thirty-two years of software engineering and college teaching because I am convinced of the teaching potential of mobile devices combined with Web 2.0 applications. It seems obvious students benefit from having learning opportunities available on demand.

  I want to learn as much as possible about p2pu to include in the next revision of A teachers' guide to eLearning and the best way to do that is to experience it as a teacher and learner.

  Bio:

  I am doing research in biology as a post-doc in UPenn (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA). Before to come to Philadelphia, I did my PhD in the Pasteur Institute of Paris (France), but I am originally from Toulouse (France). My interest in p2pu comes from the desire to keep learning in a broad range of topics beside biology, as well as to get more involved in teaching. Furthermore, through p2pu, I want to help promote the core values of open-source, open-content and p2p, in education and beyond.

  Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

  Standard Set Answer:

  I am currently a post-doc doing research in biology and I would like to start a course or school of biology in p2pu, possibly using the documentation from the Saylor Foundation.
  Through this study group, I would like to learn the basics of creating a course on p2pu, as well as collecting advises from other members.
  I would be happy to help with the handbook organization, if needed.

  Bio:

  I'm a slightly crazy 20-something that is passionate about blurring the (imagined) lines between "education" and the "real world". This summer I'll spend several months riding down the west coast to design a 'moving curriculum' that explores the ideas of (1) finding or eliciting lessons from the world around us and (2) stringing these lessons together to create dynamic, place-based learning experiences that anyone (or group of people) can self-facilitate.

  I'm also a singuitarist, dancer, artist, writer, treeclimbing, veggie-loving adventurer with a passion for expanding my worldviews and a preference for barefeet.

  Location: Washington DC

  Standard Set Answer:

  Hi,

  I'm interested in joining this group so that I can learn how to improve/get the most out of the course I've started - called "Learning from the World in Motion" - and contribute my thoughts and ideas to the handbook.

  Thanks!

  I am an independent researcher at the intersection of business administration, society and technology.I am passionate about the overall architecture and design of the social, technological and commercial aspects of enterprises. And I am equally intrigued by the challenges of investigating models that explain and applying these models to both companies as permanent and projects as temporary organisations. My theoretical interest and expertise are in management systems, such as quality and knowledge management, and in the application of technologies, particularly Internet and Web 2.0 technology.

   

  My areas of practice are Fab Labs, Open Design and Creative Commons, More recently I have started to investigate and develop models and formats of co-creation, together with colleagues Abdul Samad Kazi (VTT, Helsinki, Finland) and Patricia Wolf (ETH Zurich, Switzerland). First results of this endeavour have been the development and delivery and evaluation of “unconference” and co-creation formats in academia and business.

   

  I am also investigating how structural and societal conditions influence and are influenced by various forms of co-creation, one example being the current intellectual property and copyright regimes as opposed to commons-based peer-production.

   

  In terms of formal credentials, I hold a Dr. sc. techn. and an MSc. in industrial engineering from ETH Zurich, and a certificate in International Copyright Law from the University of Amsterdam. I received formal training in online journalism, as a facilitator for Local Agenda 21 and for future workshops, in educational video production, and in sound engineering. I am proficient in German, English, Dutch and French and do read Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

  As someone without formal computer science or electrical engineering experience, I benefit a lot from open source projects on the web.  Usually I work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.  On the server side, I am a fan of Google App Engine, Python, and MongoDB to set up applications on a shoestring budget.  For hardware - you can't beat Arduino.

  Standard Set Answer:

  Very interested in finding out more about P2PU and the growing community here. Hope to work with others to put together some interesting new courses and to participate in some good courses organised by others too. Recently I finished a university degree that I studied externally and I found the online discussions with my tutors and peers to be a very helpful part of the learning experience. With new platforms like P2PU, amazing new learning opportunities are being opened up to people who haven't been able to access them before.

   

  Cheers

  Reid

  Bio:

  I am a PhD candidate in art history with a focus on Renaissance and Baroque Art. I have been teaching art history courses at the college level since 2006, courses which have covered Western art history from Prehistory to the present day.  My pet interests are architecture, Russian art, and American art.  As a facilitator for p2pu my goal is to encourage discussion among participants and to help participants learn from one another in a format determined by those participants.  I'm here to help, but not to dictate.

  Location: Maryland

  Standard Set Answer:

  I always want to learn about new things, and I'm interested in learning about what interests others, since I'm a teacher.

   

  I hope to learn more about other people's learning interests and processes, and to experience online learning for myself.
