I didn't know about it. It seems very interesting:

.. but I don't see very clear if it goes in the same direction as Sugata Mitra (great great video, by the way)

This year the TED conference awarded their top prize to this talk by
Sugata Mitra entitled "Build a School in the Cloud":
http://http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_build_a_school_in_the_cloud.html

The point of the talk is asking for educational technologists to
design and offer peer-oriented learning systems. But such systems
already exist. The most advanced of which at present is called
PeerWise: http://peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz/

In short, PeerWise is an automated self-study, low-stakes assessment
system where both questions and answers are edited and reviewed by
anyone (with access; in practice this usually means anyone enrolled in
a course or major at an institution) very similarly to textual content
in a wiki. It is already being used successfully at hundreds of higher
education and other institutions.  But sadly it's closed source.  I
have since 2009 been trying to encourage the Foundation to build an
open source version of such a system.

Is there anyone else interested in this?
