The term "peer-to-peer" has come to be applied to networks that expect end users to contribute their own files, computing time, or other resources to some shared project. Even more interesting than the systems' technical underpinnings are their socially disruptive potential: in various ways they return content, choice, and control to ordinary users.

While this book is mostly about the technical promise of peer-to-peer, we also talk about its exciting social promise. Communities have been forming on the Internet for a long time, but they have been limited by the flat interactive qualities of email and Network newsgroups. People can exchange recommendations and ideas over these media, but have great difficulty commenting on each other's postings, structuring information, performing searches, or creating summaries.

You'll find information on the latest and greatest systems as well as upcoming efforts in this book. Commons-based peer production. The term is often used interchangeably with the term social production. Overview[edit] The history of commons-based peer production communities (by the P2Pvalue project) Benkler contrasts commons-based peer production with firm production, in which tasks are delegated based on a central decision-making process, and market-based production, in which allocating different prices to different tasks serves as an incentive to anyone interested in performing a task. Benkler first introduced the term in his 2002 paper "Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm",[6] whose title refers to the Linux mascot and to Ronald Coase, who originated the transaction costs theory of the firm that provides the methodological template for the paper's analysis of peer production.

The paper cites Eben Moglen as the originator of the concept.[6] In his book The Wealth of Networks (2006), Benkler significantly expands on his definition of commons-based peer production. Principles[edit] Examples[edit] TIGER 21   |   Collective Intelligence. The 10 Most Important P2P Trends. Below, I’m focusing on trends in business and politics. WHAT DID I FORGET? Thanks for adding further suggestions to our comment field. What has been important in 2009, that is not reflected here?

Shareable has an excellent list of important trends related to the creation of a sharing economy and civilization as well. 1. The new model of manufacturing, based on collaborative platforms, shared designs, and distributed (relocalized) manufacturing, has definitely emerged as a practical alternative, even though it is now operating at the margins of the current system, though it’s illegal variants, such as the Shanzai system, are very important to the Chinese economy. Examples: Arduino, 100Kgarages, Open Source Ecology, eCars, the Maker movement 2.

Hierarchies must adapt to networks, as civil society networks are now becoming more productive.

Peer Resources - The Primary Source for Peer, Mentor, and Coach. P2P learning ties in with everything. This morning my internal cognitive network has a "small world" feel to it. There are very few degrees of separation between the nodes in my cognitive network. It's clear to me I have tons to share with you in the coming months but I don't know where to begin. That may be due to the fact that robust networks don't have a beginning. Over the extended holiday weekend, I captured a lot of inspirations for how peer-to-peer (P2P) learning could occur.

P2P learning functions superbly within one of the disruptive innovations I've proposed will impact higher education in the near future. P2P learning links to another major cognitive hub I have not yet written about here: conflicts with and within collaborative networks. P2P learning also solves some technical issues I've been wrestling with while preparing a business plan entry for the contest at the University of Pennsylvania. Open Infrastructures I: conferen. This report on the conference in Manchester on November 3, on “Media Ecologies for Post-Industrial Production” should have been published 3 weeks ago, but got an erroneous draft status. Without further ado: This was an important week in the history of the P2P movement. I recently reported on the Free Culture Forum, which brought together people from various creative communities to hash out a common charter, and gave birth to the political expression of the free culture movement.

Equality important was the Manchester event on November 3, which I consider the birth of a “Open Infrastructure” movement. The event was co-organized by Phoebe Moore, a labour scholar at Salford University; Nathan Cravens, a Texan independent researcher on automated labour, and myself. The title, perhaps counter-intuitively, was “Media Ecologies for Post Industrial Production”. It had two tracks, separate in the morning, but which merged in the afternoon session. Learning by teaching. In professional education, learning by teaching (German: Lernen durch Lehren, short LdL) designates currently the method by Jean-Pol Martin that allows pupils and students to prepare and to teach lessons, or parts of lessons.

Learning by teaching should not be confused with presentations or lectures by students, as students not only convey a certain content, but also choose their own methods and didactic approaches in teaching classmates that subject. Neither should it be confused with tutoring, because the teacher has intensive control of, and gives support for, the learning process in learning by teaching as against other methods. History[edit] Seneca the Younger told in his letters to Lucilius that we are learning if we teach (epistulae morales I, 7, 8): docendo discimus (lat.: "by teaching we are learning"). At all times in the history of schooling there have been phases where students were mobilized to teach their peers.

Students as teachers in order to spare teachers[edit]
