Sharing Application Sessions for Peer-to-Peer Learning

In this paper, we introduce the concept of Peer-to-peer Learning and discuss learning scenario that we aim at giving solution. We present our contribution ULabGrid2, a Grid architecture framework and the current implementation. ULabGrid2 supports several Peer-to-peer learning scenarios making use of P2P and Grid infrastructures: sharing application session, sharing data files, providing peer to peer direct communications, an activity indicator for peer discovery. Finally, we describe an experimental study where we plan to demonstrate the framework ability to support peer-to-peer learning activities and to evaluate the learning experiences of the users.
