The Peoples Open Access Educational Initiative (Peoples-Uni) aims to provide an educational context to the use of OER for capacity building in Public Health. It offers enrolment in certificate, diploma and single course modules, using a volunteer business model supplemented by a fee of US$50 per course module. The first set of 6 course modules attracted 117 students, across 170 modules.

Peoples-uni was registered in January 2007 as an approved UK charity (# 1126265). It is coordinated by Professor Dick Heller. Staff members include more than 80 individuals from 24 different countries. Oversight is undertaken by an International Advisory Group, as well as an educational oversight and Quality Assurance group.
