Peer.School: Online Learning Platform for Peer Collaboration

Peer.School connects students to learn together in small groups with expert facilitators, developing critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills through project-based peer learning.

What is Peer.School?

Peer.School is an online learning community that facilitates small-group, project-based learning experiences for students. Its mission is to nurture the development of essential skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity through meaningful peer interactions.

Here's how it works: Learners join interest-based cohorts of 8-10 students led by an expert facilitator. Over the course of several months, the cohort works together on real-world projects, participating in discussions, giving presentations, working in teams, providing peer feedback, and engaging in other active learning activities. Facilitators guide the process and provide just-in-time micro-lectures when needed.

The platform is designed to make project-based peer learning accessible and effective. Key features include video conferencing, digital whiteboards, document collaboration, automated feedback collection, and portfolio building tools. The small group size and discussion-based format creates a safe space for students to find their voice, take risks, and learn from each other.

In addition to benefiting students, Peer.School also provides meaningful work for experts, creators, and educators looking to share their knowledge and facilitate meaningful learning experiences. It aims to rebuild learning communities centered around mentors and apprentices working together on projects that matter.
