This is a page to explore the facilitation of learning and inquiry, and of organizational life, to enhance whole person development, participation and collaboration.

Peer to peer, as a distributed mode of organization and way of thinking, expresses itself not only in a technological infrastructure, but also in modes of organization, and in ways to stimulate social processes that are congruent with it. There is a emergence of a wide variety of dialogical techniques to ellicit collaboration and collective intelligence. While this section mostly focuses on the human-relational aspect of facilitation, it will also monitor technological enablers to this process.

This page will be maintained by Rosa Zubaretta.

Not all relevant entries from the P2P Encyclopedia have been ported here yet: only the first four columns.
