#PKMChat 2015-06-03 Peer Learning

Topic evolved from Social Learning to Peer Learning

@RotanaRotana catched my interest with Peeragogy in a convo by DM we started about my experiment of #WOL via GitHub. “Didn’t know, Interesting, maybe a good topic for tomorrow. Small change from “Social” to “Peer” Learning 🙂 #Opportunist” “They wrote a book with Jay Cross & Howard Rheingold. There is a G+ community at https://plus.google.com/communities/107386162349686249470/stream/6722cdc3-3ce0-414e-a3c0-332c8425a365 …” In my tasks list, I had to review the recap of our first take on Social Learning in February. I didn’t remember we already had this question of learning from peers http://kneaverdemo.kneaver.com/pkmchat-social-learning-take-1-q3/

Hesitating on tomorrow #PKMChat Topic: Social Learning (again, more details) or Peer Learning (idea from @rotanarotana) ..

Some our regulars seem to have an opinion on the question. This encouraged me to change the topic.

A3) In all seriousness, I prefer to learn from peers then experts. Level of trust and credibility, maybe? #pkmchat

A3 Peers, don't believe there's such a thing as influencers & domain experts in the standard definition. #pkmchat

Although there could be “Peer Learning” and “Peer Learning”. Several definitions applies. First could be to clarify. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_learning BTW I find it ironic that Wikipedia requires an Expert to fix the Peer Learning page. From the site of Peeragogy: http://peeragogy.github.io/introduction.html “—Peeragogy is a flexible framework of techniques for peer learning and peer knowledge production. As pedagogy theoretically articulates the transmission of knowledge from teachers to students, peeragogy describes the way peers produce and utilize knowledge together. With OER, wikis, the internet, Free Software and mobile networks, groups of people can learn, connect and create knowledge together inside and outside of formal institutions in ways never before possible. These tools can facilitate connected learning, and collaborative engagement but they only work well when combined with practices that work well for the people involved.” Is there an overlap with Social Learning? Comunity of Inquiry? PLN? What are the benefit for lifelong learners? Hum, that sounds cool, very #PKMChat oriented and not so far from #WOL So I’ll spend my Wednesday doing some research #WOL on the topic. feel free to contribute ideas and links via #PKMChat hashtag. Topic writing is on progress. We recommend to check the #PKMChat hashtag to see the prechat conversation taking place to get more insights. PKMChat being about Personal Knowledge Management encompass Knowledge lifecycle in general. Our first chat was about learning, acquiring Knowledge. Our second is about sharing it. Week after weeks we will switch from one end of the lifecycle to another while exploring all the channels that could be used: social, formal, writing, videos.
