The Cambrian Explosion in P2P Learning Platforms

Howard Rheingold:

"Cambrian explosion of p2p learning platforms seems to be in progress. I collect links to p2p learning platforms. P2PU, which has been blogged here at dmlcentral, is one of the leaders. I'm particularly interested in Anya Kamenetz's P2PU course on "Getting Started With Self Learning." There are, I found, many others: Stack Exchange ("a network of question and answer sites on diverse topics"), Open Study ("make the world your study group"), Quora ("a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it"), Better At ("learning from other people and teaching others is the best way to learn"), World University ("which anyone can add to or edit"), Skillshare ("classes to learn anything from anyone"), School of Everything ("Nobody likes to be told what to do. School of Everything is here to organize your education however you please") -- the list grows every day." (http://dmlcentral.net/blog/howard-rheingold/toward-peeragogy)
