Paragogical Praxis
Corneli, Joseph
E-Learning and Digital Media, v9 n3 p267-272 2012
This article considers the problem of peer-producing rich online learning environments, a task that appears techno-socially feasible, but is not without challenge. The author draws on the self-professedly "utopian" approach developed by Baudrillard in "The Mirror of Production", to establish and understand the two key dimensions of leverage (language and recycling). He then extends a recent article by Corneli and Danoff on the topic of peer learning with a set of guidelines for practitioners. His conclusion supports active peer production of learning environments, against a "provisionist" strategy, but he recognizes that the paragogical agenda may be at odds with established educational systems in some respects, though perhaps in a complementary manner. (Contains 4 notes.)
