But this is only a small example of what P2P is: it's in fact a template of human relationships, a "relational dynamic" which is springing up throughout the social fields, more precisely where one finds 'distributed networks'. This dynamic is the one that made possible to develop Internet in the first beginning and enabled the Free Software existence. "Commons-based peer production", as Benkler puts it, is the fundamental base of the emerging forms of value creation and studying them is essential to understand our modern societies. | ||
Peer production expresses itself in social processes such as peer production, peer governance, and universal common property regimes. It describe and explain the emergence of this dynamic as it occurs, and to place it in an evolutionary framework of succeeding modes of civilization. | Peer production expresses itself in social processes such as peer production, peer governance, and universal common property regimes.

We find the development of an open course on peer production and commons theory a very fascinating challenge. We believe that achieving a solid (but always free/open) course, unprecedented, with the support and partnership of worldwide references in peer based production and commons theory, would become an essential reference in those fields and allow more educational institutions and more people to study and teach on these topics. | We find the development of an open course on peer production and commons theory a very fascinating challenge.
