Peer Learning

Description

From the Wikipedia:

"Peer learning is an educational practice in which students interact with other students to attain educational goals." In this context, it can be compared to the practices that go by the name cooperative learning. However, other contemporary views on peer learning relax the constraints, and position peer or peer-to-peer learning as a mode of "learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything."[2] In either formulation, peer learning is seen to manifest aspects of self-organization that are mostly absent from pedagogical models of teaching and learning."
