Hello everyone, my name is Edgar Ornelas. I am from Mexico, but now live in Paris. It is here that I organized my first Learning Circle. I am an EdTech student and have experience working as a teacher, as psychotherapy and project coordinator for educative initiatives.

Hello all,
My name is Aneeq, I hail from Hyderabad, India. I graduated last year and have been dabbling in the education space ever since.
I am currently looking to create a Peer Learning Course on the Basics of Programming
While I have a decent idea about the content that it will comprise of, I am a complete novice in the idea of peer learning. To begin with What are the fundamental design considerations in a Peer-to-Peer course?
Would love to interact with everyone here.
Cheers!
Hi @aneeq - have a look at http://howto.p2pu.org/. Itās a course that steps you through creating a peer-to-peer course. It covers the technical aspects to create an online course and also some design considerations for a Peer-to-Peer course. I wouldnāt call it an extensive guide on āthe fundamental design considerations in a Peer-to-Peer courseā though

Hey guys,
Started using the platform yesterday and Iām quite impressed so far! Good choice of learning stuff and very intuitive.
Couldnāt see a āWhitepaper resourceā though. Has anyone found one?
Thanks,
Rick
Hi there @Robinson , Iām glad youāre finding it useful! You canāt find a whitepaper resource because there isnāt one. What are you looking to find?
Also, you should know that there is a more active community discussion for learning circle related work hereā> https://groups.google.com/a/p2pu.org/forum/#!forum/community
@grif i have found the resources i was looking for on Retailwire. Thanks for sharing community link. Good to see the engagement this community is enjoying!
Greetings from the Boston Public Library in Boston, Massachusetts! My name is Jessica Elias and I oversee our group instruction classes at our library branches. Weāre really excited to start to facilitate a few Learning Circles in the Spring; as this will help us be able to offer group learning on topics and subjects we havenāt yet been able to cover. In particular, we are really looking forward to incorporating classes that would benefit our large groups of new Bostonians and English language learners - from everything to practicing English to covering Citizenship topics - as Citizenship and Immigration have been areas of major focus lately, I believe this would be a strong benefit for our users. Looking forward to more discussions here!

Hello everyone!
Weāre merging our introductions onto this forum after more than 90 introductions on our Google Group. Iāll start!
My name is Nico Koenig and I live in Ottawa, Canada but soon to make the transition to small town Kingston, Ontario. Iāve been working with P2PU for a year and a half as their Community Lead. A big part of my work is supporting the wider community of P2PU friends, facilitators, educators and making sure that this initiative remains community-driven. Youāll also see me thinking a lot about how we support others to learn about learning circles. My goal, with your help, is to empower educators like you and create high-quality learning programs in public and accessible spaces around the world!
Iāve been working in the funny world of adult education and community development for the past 10 years or so. I love creating opportunities and spaces for people to learn together in non-traditional, alternative and creative ways. Speak to me about lifelong learning, non-formal education, popular education and of course, community development.
My daughter was the first to wear a P2PU onesie. Let me know if you want one too, they look awesome!

Hi Nico! This is Philip from the Riverview Branch Library. Iād like to get my feet wet in adult programming, which is something I havenāt done in awhile since I have been functioning as a Youth Services Librarian. Iād like to select a few courses that I personally might enjoy, as well as courses that the community would like. There are a few areas of study Iād like to see added, such as meditation and world religions. Thanks!
