We had a great session today, discussing the Peeragogy project and welcoming it as something our Metacaugs group wants to work on. Peeragogy is an example of peer-to-peer learning and at the same time - how very meta - they produce the Peeragogy Handbook. The group works on version 4 of the Handbook and looks for concrete examples of people using the handbook in order to get peer-to-peer learning projects up and running. Or examples of how people do not use the Handbook even though they read it.

In discussing the project we used the Lean Canvas methodology . This method allows people to have a structured discussion about a project - can be a start-up, a non-profit project, writing a book or organizing a course - and it only takes about 20 minutes on average.

The canvas asks traditional questions such as “what is the problem you want to solve”, “what are the metrics”, “what is your solution”, “what is the unique advantage you have” etc, turning the questions and answers in a single sheet.
