The Peeragogy Handbook, v. 3: The No-Longer-Missing Guide to Peer Learning & Peer Production

by Howard Rheingold (Foreword), Joseph Corneli (Editor), Charles J. Danoff (Editor)

The Peeragogy Handbook is a distillation of practical, effective strategies, patterns and case studies you can use for your collaborative learning and work projects. Until the advent of the web and widespread access to digital media, traditional systems effectively monopolized the pursuit of learning. Now, with access to open educational resources and free or inexpensive communication platforms, groups of people can more easily learn together outside as well as inside formal institutions. You'll discover how, in this book. The Peeragogy Project was inspired by internet pioneer Howard Rheingold in 2012 and co-created by contributors from around the planet, working on synchronous, asynchronous, analog and digital platforms. Drawing from direct experience and research, our merry band of "peeragogues" has identified, implemented, and refined effective patterns for working together. And it's fun - the best motivation for learning! Version 3 of the Peeragogy Handbook features a new pattern catalog and many significant enhancements.

About the author

Aloha! I'm always excited to interact with readers. I'm new to Goodreads but will do my best to check in from time to time. A great deal of info and resources, articles, videos, can be found on my website, which I will list here.

I'm 65 and live in Marin County, California -- just north of the Golden Gate -- and when I'm not writing (and when weather permits, when I am writing) I'm usually to be found in my garden.

I've been a writer my entire adult life, starting at age 23, although I do a lot of other things, teaching at Stanford among them.

Judy and I have been together for 45 years! Married for 35 of those years. We have a grown daughter and two dogs that we pamper.

As one of the contributors to this Handbook since 2012, I have experienced the effectiveness of Peeragogy first hand and applied it in many other enterprises and aspects of my life. It is a real education to be part of a collaborative production team on a book like this. Yes, it has flaws, but the real magic is in the process. We welcome all types of contributors for any period of time and especially as we produce version 4 of the Handbook. You will meet an amazing group of people.
