The well-fermented outline: communicate clearly :) :) :)

See [[paragogy]] for other details about plans.

At a high level, we can ask ourselves: "Why do we want to write this paper?"

Goals for Meeting 2 28 March 2011 13:05h USA CT

***Goals for Meeting 3: 04 April 2011  13:05 USA CT ***

By or before this meeting, start making folders in the form of our outline on Zotero, and put references where they are relevant.

Paragogy: Best practices for building best practices?

Connecting people to the things that are relevant, including from history, but also within their current peer group...
Peer group: Jesus & disciples trying to be relevant to people; disciples spreading the gospel (is kind of like paragogy); all the way up to missionaries.

Abstract

Stick to the format that people are going to expect.

Body of the paper

Conclusion

Another possible outline to merge in with what's below

Why would we need a new theory of p2p learning?
- to find and enjoy the benefits of peer production (where they exist)
- because peer learning doesn't always work very well

How would we use this theory?
- course design and lesson planning
- direct administrative efforts into suitable paths

What makes an effective context?
- one in which participants have a serious stake in the outcomes

How do the "paragogical principles" come into it?
- TBA

How does this relate to other theories (ESR, Polya, Knowles)?
- TBA

How does organisational learning relate?
- TBA

How does the typical "long tail" of those less involved relate?
- TBA

How do we validate the theory?
-  Need to assess real peer learning experiences -- the principles can  themselves be used as a framework for evaluation! -- after that  then  they we can consider a secondary evaluation of the principles themselves

What contexts won't work well?  What are reasons why the math courses at P2PU seem to have failed again, for example?

How can readers participate in building/shaping this theory?
- Update the Wikiversity pages about the project

After refactoring and some further improvements:

"Peer-learning"  takes place in conditions where the learning context is open to  examination, discussion and change; in particular, learners can  individually or collectively study and critique the learning process;  peer learners treat one another in an egalitarian fashion; in  particular, the learning pathway isn't dictated by anyone, but rather  discovered. In such a setting, learners are able to get what they came  for (or figure out why that's impossible).
