Knowledge, Learning, Community

Interesting look at the code that runs P2PU, a project called Lernanta. "Lernanta is the Django based software platform that is used by Peer 2 Peer University to facilitate peer learning on the web!" It shows (to me at least) a significant difference between their thinking and my own. "Users are probably the most important entity on P2PU. Without users no peer learning will be possible and everyone working on P2PU will probably get very lonely and depressed." Well - yeah - but by contrast, on gRSShopper, the users are assumed to be outside the system for the most part, inhabiting their own spaces, and not mine. As well, I don't have a badge infrastrcuture (and probably never will - though if I did it would again be distributed).
