ICT-Atelier: MWUCE Idea Sketch Sal Khan: the man who tutored his cousin – and started a revolution Sal Khan has a simple mission: a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.

Shamblesguru (shamblesguru) How To Get Involved in the Peeragogy Project Hello and welcome! The peeragogy project was kicked off around the time of Howard Rheingold’s January 23, 2012 Regents Lecture at UC Berkeley on Social Media and Peer Learning: From Mediated Pedagogy to Peeragogy. We have put together a handbook about peer learning: you’re reading it — maybe on our website, or in your hammock with the beverage of your choice and our print on demand paperback. But: there’s still more work to be done. What you do here is largely up to you. The goal we have in mind for our book is for it be a useful guide to peer learning! It’s up to you. We regularly use Google+, Google Hangouts, forums, and email to communicate asynchronously and pretty much continuously. In short: here’s how it works: Questions? If you have questions, that’s good!
