Gibbon is a peer-to-peer learning network that connects users that want to teach each other and learn about anything. The website was built upon the motto that “almost all knowledge is already available on the web, all you need is someone to guide you to it.” Gibbon makes it easy for users to guide each other to that knowledge and content. The site offers online learning with a different approach than most websites, which usually offer courses that mimic the lesson and test plans of college courses. Instead, Gibbon offers “Learning Flows,” which are like playlists of articles and other content created by experts of a certain subject. These learning flows are updated often, and they create a space for experts to post all of the articles, links, videos and books that helped them accomplish whatever goal it is other users are attempting to learn. The learning flows also display the other students in the various classes, making it easier to connect with other users.
