The Peeragogy project was convened by Howard Rheingold in 2012 (https://clalliance.org/blog/toward-peeragogy/). If you have a couple minutes to listen to Howard tell the story, here is a video in which he describes how he went from organising co-teaching in his classes at Berkeley and Stanford, to running collaborative courses online, to convening a group of people to collect practical know-how about how to learn any subject without teachers: https://youtu.be/dHvGIX2Wjss?t=138

The Peeragogy Handbook collects the results of our investigations. In capsule form, peeragogy centres on the process of learning together and making that learning available to others. We decided to early on to publish our book directly in to the public domain, via the CC Zero waiver, so that we could minimise friction for people adopting and adapting the contents (http://www.peeragogy.org/license). We are currently working on the 4th Edition of the book, which will bring a lot of changes to the contents (the 3rd Edition was published in 2016).
