Peer Learning • Students teaching and learning from each other.

• Sharing ideas, knowledge and experiences

• Emphasises interdependent as opposed to independent learning (Boud, 2001).

Interactions • Interactive learning (learner-to-content)

• Networked learning (learner-to-learner; learner-to-teacher)

• Student-generated content (learner-as-designers).

• Connected students (knowledge is in the network)

• Learning-oriented assessment (assessment-as-learning).
