Librarians have been doing peer learning since the first library opened it's doors, between librarians, between patrons, community members and organizations. Today this is still happening within the library buildings, but with web based tools, we have more possibilities. These tools have expanded what it means to "be together" to learn with and from each other. 

This web resource is a collection of  basic materials about peer learning. There are explanations, links and resources about peer learner,  how to facilitate peer learning, how to use online tools for peer learning. They can be used in a wide variety of situations with, within and between libraries, patrons and communities.

How to use this resource¶

The resources have been organized in a series of "learning paths." The learning paths can be thought of as "mini-lessons" or thematic collections within the overall site. The learning paths and resources are flexible elements that you can use in many ways. We have identified some specific learning paths but you can also create your own. You can dip in and out of the site to get information, ideas and resources whenever and however you wish.  (to see another example of this sort of format see http://c4lpt.co.uk/140Learning/index.html - which also has some great resources we can use. Note, Jane has copyrighted those materials, so we can either link or ask for permission. I know Jane so the latter is a possibility.)

You can also browse the Peer Learning Resources which offers worksheets, fact sheets and links to useful resources and materials found elsewhere on the web.

We suggest you start with our quick "overview" learning path that gives you a sampling of the major areas of the site.

  To be drafted once we have a bit more here. It will include a short description of the learning paths, how to search for materials on the
  site, etc.It will also depend on which wiki tool we use.

How do contribute to this resource¶

This resource is built on a tool called a wiki. A wiki is a tool that creates easily editable websites that people can edit without knowing any special computer codes. New pages can be added, links can be created between pages, making this an evolving resource. You can comment on any resource, contribute new content, even design specific learning paths that reflect your need and which may be useful to others.

For more specific details on how to contribute, see the How to Contribute page (To be made once we have the wiki and I know the technical steps of that particular site.)
