# Peeragogy Handbook

Welcome to the Peeragogy Handbook,Wikibook Edition!
Peeragogy is a word for a techniques that self-motivated learners can use to connect with each other and develop stronger communities and collaborations. This book picks up where the Wikipedia Peer Learning and Peer Production articles leave off. It is addressed to everyone who is interested in how learning works, whether you’re an educator, a hobbyist, an artist, a student, an employee, a parent, an activist, an archivist, a mathematician, tennis player, and/or if you just think learning is cool.
Peers began working as on the first edition of this Handbook in 2012. Howard Rheingold convened them in connection with his University of California, Berkeley Regents Lecture on January 23rd "Social Media and Peer Learning: From Mediated Pedagogy to Peeragogy" Since then two more editions of the Peeragogy Handbook were crafted and papers were written.
Over the course of working on the handbooks peeragogues worked hard, practiced peeragogy, learned a lot about it, and had a lot of fun! This Wikibook Edition of the Handbook stands on its own as their successor with ongoing updates.
Experiences within the Peeragogy Project have been that flattened hierarchies do not necessarily mean decisions go by consensus — people often take the ball and run with it. The handbook includes co-edited pages as well as single-author works: often the lines and voices are blurred. One constant throughout the book is our interest in making something useful. To this end, the book is available under the Wikibook non-restrictive legal terms, which allow you to reuse portions of it however you see fit it. Among other things, we include instructions on how to join us in further developing this resource, one way is to view our Wikbooks project page.

On a different school website page it states 'Howard Rheingold offers an abstract on what will be addressed in his UC Berkeley Regents Lecture: "My career-long compulsion has been to take new media to their limits. In the field of learning, this means developing a method of teaching and learning that amplifies the affordances of online media to depart from the millennia-old model of professor-lecture-texts-tests. The first stage of this evolution was the application of online media to classroom teaching. The second stage was the transformation of my teaching because of the affordances and biases of social media. The third stage was to move from blended learning that combines face to face classes and online engagement. The fourth stage was to deliver mini-courses that took place entirely online, with an emphasis on cultivating a community of co-learners. The next and most radical stage, which I hope to initiate with the Regent's lecture and accompanying master-class and seminar, is to use the same media for a purely peer-organized pedagogy."'
