Peeragogy Defined
Peeragogy is a collection of the best
practices of effective peer learning. It is also
a theory of peer-to-peer learning and
teaching that addresses the challenge of
producing a useful and supportive context
for self-directed learning.
Trust Defined

A dictionary definition of trust would tell you
that trust is:
A firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or
character of a person or thing.
How do we learn to learn how to trust others
we can learn from: a triad of learning?
Community of Practice Defined
Communities of practice are formed by people who
engage in a process of collective learning in a
shared domain of human endeavor: a tribe
learning to survive, a band of artists seeking new
forms of expression, a group of engineers working
on similar problems.
In a nutshell:
Communities of practice are groups of people who
share a concern or a passion for something they
do and learn how to do it better as they interact
regularly.
The Six Key Components
1.   Distributed Leadership
2.   Creative Deviance
3.   Honouring Diversity

5.   Action Learning
6.   Sharing Reflective Practice
Distributed Leadership
Who leads depends upon:-
• Physical location
• Interpersonal skills
• ICT literacy
• Area of expertise
• Experience
Creative Deviance
• Being creative is having or showing
  imagination
• Deviance is the ability to depart from
  convention
• Creative deviance is concerned with
  showing the imagination to do things
  differently
• Innovation breaks out knowledge sharing
  boundaries
Honouring Diversity
Involves respecting:-
• Being ‘different’
• Other cultures
• Different opinions
• Differing stages of personal development
• Multi-literacy
Manipulating Space
•   Physical space
•   Virtual space
•   Personal space
•   User space
•   ‘Liminal’ space
•   Rites of passage
Action Learning
Participation is a process of learning and
  knowing which includes four
  interconnected and mutually defining
  components:-
• Meaning: Learning as experience
• Practice: Learning as doing
• Community: Learning as belonging
• Identity: Learning as becoming
Sharing Reflective Practice
 • Practice as ‘artful doing’
 • ‘Thinking on your feet’
 •   Sharing good practice
