Peer Learning

Back to Glossary

What this means…

Peer learning is the free association of adults in a learner-shaped environment.

People learning in this way have to negotiate their approach to the work they are to do together.

This means more than developing a few ground rules: it involves working through the context; content; timing; management and assessment of the learning.

Oasis has over 20 years’ experience introducing self and peer assessment methods to individuals, groups and organisations, and supporting other radical initiatives in organisations and companies to move toward peer working.

The vigour of a peer learning group depends upon visibility, choice and collaboration.
