E-learning - Palo Alto, California, United States
PeerVids is an E-Learning site that is founded by high school students. As students themselves, the founders apply the daily needs they see everyday to the solutions that PeerVids solves. PeerVids is an online education site that teaches through videos. The site differentiates from other online education sites because it crowd sources education, allowing anyone to post a specific video. The videos rise or fall based on the ratings they receive, making the system self-sufficient. This gives PeerVids the best content and makes it easily accessible to the user. The site prompts posters and educators to organize the videos in the order and form that a textbook teaches it. This allows the videos to best fill the students needs, as they are in an order and form that a student can easily access learning in a similar way they are learning in school. PeerVids dynamic features allow it to be used for simple homework help, flipping a classroom for a teacher, become the curriculum for home schoolers, or going beyond into a world without traditional school. PeerVids is free for the user and anyone can come and Learn or Teach.
