About
The Peeragogy project was convened by Howard Rheingold in 2012
(https://clalliance.org/blog/toward-peeragogy/).
If you have a couple minutes to listen to Howard tell the story, here
is a video in which he describes how he went from organising
co-teaching in his classes at Berkeley and Stanford, to running
collaborative courses online, to convening a group of people to
collect practical know-how about how to learn any subject without
teachers: https://youtu.be/dHvGIX2Wjss?t=138
The Peeragogy Handbook collects the results of our investigations.
In capsule form, peeragogy centres on the process of learning
together and making that learning available to others. We decided
to early on to publish our book directly in to the public domain,
via the CC Zero waiver, so that we could minimise friction for
people adopting and adapting the contents
(http://www.peeragogy.org/license).
We are currently working on the 4th Edition of the book, which will
bring a lot of changes to the contents (the 3rd Edition was
published in 2016).
