Blended approach for Peer-to-Peer learning in engineering education

摘要

Peer learning encourages students to interact with each other to attain educational goals. Peer learning encompasses the principles of self-directed and student centred learning and in essence with these principles a design/project based learning process was implemented in a third year engineering unit. The learning process incorporates a design thinking process, which promotes interpersonal interaction between peers and staff. The learning incorporates a blended environment with cloud and located learning activities. This paper discusses the learning process and the use of technology resource to promote peer learning.
