PeerPath · In pilot
Study partners who are on the same thing this week
PeerPath matches people working toward the same thing (a course, a certification, a job credential) with others who are on that same material right now, then helps the group run a useful session.
Talk to us about a pilotHow a match becomes a study session
THE LOOP
The same loop runs for a course, a certification and a workforce credential. Only the thing people are working toward changes.
Someone posts what they are working on
Not "I need a study partner": the course or credential, the topic they are on this week, and the evenings they are free. Limiting reagents before Friday’s exam, not Chemistry in general.
Two joins form a group
Matching is on the course or credential, the topic and overlapping availability, so the people who meet are working on the same thing at the same time.
The group gets a chat and a session
A place to talk and a scheduled time to meet, so the match turns into an actual study session rather than an introduction that goes nowhere.
Afterwards, did you meet?
A check-in and a rating after the session, and the option to keep the group going another week. That answer is what tells an administrator whether the program is working.
Workforce development
For the programs that get adults credentialed
Workforce boards, professional societies, certificate programs and apprenticeship sponsors. You bring your credentials with their outline areas, your cohorts and your program codes, and participants are matched with others working on the same area in the same week. They study together, and tell you afterwards whether they passed.
Participants join the way you already reach them
Send a spreadsheet and each person gets a personal invitation, or they join with your program code. Anyone you invite who is 18 or older, on any email address; participants come from many employers or none.
Cohorts match within themselves first
Between a cohort’s start and end dates, its participants are matched with each other. If a request waits two days without a match, the rest of the program opens up, a threshold you can change or switch off. People outside a cohort join a rolling pool.
Did you earn it?
After the assessment date, or the end of the cohort, each participant is asked once: Yes, Not yet, or Prefer not to say. A "Not yet" sets a new date and asks once more. That is the outcome number most programs are missing.
Totals only, with a floor
You see participation and outcomes per credential, never what anyone wrote or how one person answered. Any figure standing on fewer than five participants reads as "fewer than 5", and so does any figure that would let a hidden one be worked back out.
Your program pays a monthly fee and participants use PeerPath free. Sessions meet online by default; if your participants share a training site, in-person sessions can be allowed too.
Communities of their own kind
WHO IT SERVES
Campus
Large intro courses, where students want study partners but have no way to find who is on the same material this week.
Exam candidates
People preparing for the same certification on their own schedule, grouped by what they are revising rather than by cohort: property transactions before the REG sitting, not the CPA in general.
Workforce programs
Workforce boards, professional societies, certificate programs and apprenticeship sponsors, running cohorts toward a job credential and getting the pass rate back.
Company teams
The same matching, applied to people learning the same thing inside an organization.
What a campus pilot looks like
On campus, PeerPath starts with students at a single institution, in the same courses. They add it to their phone straight from the browser, with no app store and no download, which matters when you are asking a whole course to try something in week three. Running it for one course costs very little, and it scales if it spreads.
Accounts are verified against your institution's own email domain, so a campus pilot stays inside that campus. Moderation holds harmful messages, and three reports pause an account for review.
PeerPath runs as a one-campus pilot first, and there is a demo environment that walks administrators through the whole loop (request, match, group, session, check-in) before a single student signs up. Workforce and certification programs run on their own cohorts and credentials rather than on courses, as described above.
For administrators and program managers
REPORTING AND ANALYTICS
Enough to tell whether the program is working, and to defend it to whoever funds it, without reading anyone's messages. Everything arrives as totals, and any figure resting on fewer than five learners is withheld, ratings included.
The funnel, week by week
Requests posted, matches formed, groups created, sessions scheduled and sessions actually met, plus how long people waited for a match and how helpful they rated the session. Broken out by week and by course or credential, over a window you set.
Who is taking part, cohort by cohort
Members, how many posted in the window, and how many came back in more than one week. Each cohort is reported on its own, with the rolling pool beside it, and outcomes shown as answered, earned, and not yet.
What they are actually stuck on
The concepts learners ask about, mapped to the outline areas of the course or credential, tracked week by week. It shows which concepts keep turning up together and when in the term they surface, which is the part no attendance report can tell you.
Moderation in the same place
Held messages and reports queue in the admin view, with the account actions to resolve them. Three reports pause an account for review on their own.
