Peer to Peer U – A New Model of Learning

Peer to Peer U – A New Model of Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Knowledge used to be the sole domain of the individual, highly educated expert. A professor with a PH.D. or a carefully researched and written book were the best sources to find out about something. This is a model of learning that has held sway since the earliest human societies formed and people with particular fields of expertise taught other members of their groups. The Internet and social media have dramatically changed what it means to know something, and initiatives like Wikipedia are reshaping where we turn for "expert" information. Social collaboration and meaning making are allowing for knowledge to be the domain of a collective group rather than any individual. A recent study even revealed that Wikipedia is now as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britanica.

 

The P2PU Model


P2PU works on the premise that everyone has something to offer, the idea that passion for a subjects can substitute for expertise, and that social interaction is the key to motivation and learning. The motto of the institution is, "learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything." While this crowd-based model of expertise cannot substitute for the highly educated scholar’s years of research and careful consideration of a single topic, it does provide a potentially good source of entry-level knowledge to many subjects.

People don't need experts; they just need someone who knows

People don't need experts; they just need someone who knows | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

You don’t need an expert for this – you just needs someone who knows the answer to the problem. So we have attempted to scale by connecting people with many other students. Instructors are still there, for the tough and difficult problems.





==> But students can help each other out, and are expected to do so. <==


Gust MEES's insight:

 

I agree completely with that and I encourage students to learn while using curation as their own resources and joining a #PLN (Personal Learning Network) where they could even make a Peer-Review by themselves first and later by their "Coach" (Teacher, Professor, Instructor...) for final advice ;)

 

Students in 21st Centure are mature enough already (mostly) to do so and I encourage them to choose that way, BUT listen to the Master, YOUR "Coach" and try to go for a win-win situation, every body wins and NOBODY looses, OK!? ;) Enjoy that new way of learning, it's a great way of learning with fun and on YOUR own pace... ===> #motivation #success #criticalthinking #proactivethinking #society #21stC

 

So, what is a #PLN (Personal Learning Network) and how can I use it? Check out my curation about it here:

Embrace #21stC #mentality and go ahead to bring this world further ===> YOUR choice and #Responsibilty for a BETTER world, just do it ===> #Courage + the WE #2gether!
