BACKGROUND Peer assisted learning (PAL) has been described as "the development of knowledge and skill through active help and support among status equals or matched companions". To enhance the learning experience of health professions students and improve collaborative and collegial learning, six pilot Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) projects were conducted across a health science faculty. METHO...

Creating up-to-date high quality learning materials requires significant resources many instructors cannot afford, especially when it comes to appealing eLearning materials. Peer creation may help to address this challenge. However, existing concepts of peer learning focus mostly on enhancing active discussion and reflection. Thus far, little to no research has addressed processes of systematic...

Super-peer topologies have been found efficient and effective in heterogeneous peer-to-peer networks. Due to dominant position of super-peers, super-peer selection requires a protocol that is aware of peer capacities. Lack of global information about other peers capacity and dynamic nature of peer-to-peer networks are two major challenges that impose uncertainty in decisionmaking. SG-1, is a we...

The simultaneous advances in deep learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) have benefited distributed paradigms. Federated is one most promising frameworks, where a server works with local learners to train global model. intrinsic heterogeneity IoT devices, or non-independent identically (Non-I.I.D.) data, combined unstable communication network environment, causes bottleneck that slows conver...

This paper introduces a blockchain-based P2P energy trading platform, where prosumers can trade autonomously with no central authority interference. Multiple collaborate in producing to form single provider. Clients’ power consumption is monitored using smart meter that interfaces an IoT node connected blockchain private network. The contracts, invoked on the blockchain, enable autonomous inter...

Peer assessment appeared in social constructionism theory since peer activity involves the joint construction of knowledge through discourse. This study focuses on one product that arises from peer-assessment activity: feedback peers. Besides, this linked and learners' autonomy language learning. Autonomous learning is regarded as a desirable goal an educational context. In exploring issue, use...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Peer teaching engages students as teachers and is widely used in K-12 education, many universities, and increasingly in medical schools. It draws on the social and cognitive congruence between learner and teacher and can be attractive to medical schools faced with a growing number of learners but a static faculty size. Peer teachers can give lectures on assigned topics...

Mentoring and peer-to-peer learning are well recognised as important interventions to support entrepreneurship because they allow the transfer of knowledge from direct experiences and learning of one entrepreneur to another, most often within faceto-face settings. This paper reports on the role and impact of both mentoring and peer-to-peer learning within a new and innovative higher education p...
