By learning how to “work smart” together, we hope we can leave the world in a better state than it was when we arrived.  We've been working together as volunteers, since January, 2012, to build a public domain Handbook that communicates practical strategies for [[w:en:peer learning|Peer learning]] and [[w:en:peer production|Peer production]].  In this project, we plan to use what we have learned to improve Wikimedia projects by sharing and expand our catalog of design patterns as well as our collection of use cases, and translate the book into multiple languages to bring it to a global public. Wikimedia projects are the purest instances of peeragogy and we hope to provide a new language to explain it: as pedagogy theoretically articulates transmitting knowledge from teachers to students peeragogy shall do the same for peers producing and utilizing knowledge.

==Project goals==
<!--In this section: briefly explain what are you trying to accomplish with this project, or what do you expect will change as a result of this idea. You can update and add to this later.-->

A brief history of the Peeragogy project will help contextualize our current goals.  Joe Corneli and Charlie Danoff met at '''Wikimania 2010''', where Joe was presenting the history and plans of [[w:en:PlanetMath|PlanetMath]], an early online platform for commons-based peer production, and Charlie was presenting his work on [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User:Charles_Jeffrey_Danoff/Collaborative_Lesson_Planning&oldid=601709 collaborative lesson planning].  Fortuitously, they met again online not long after, in the [[w:en:Peer to Peer University|Peer-2-Peer University's]] second round of courses, where both were volunteer course facilitators.  They agreed to enroll in each other's courses to give feedback.  As it happened, Joe's course on "[http://archive.p2pu.org/general/diy-math DIY Math]" did not go well, but Charlie's course, "[http://archive.p2pu.org/general/collaborative-lesson-planning Collaborative Lesson Planning]" provided a context to debug the issues.  Out of [http://archive.p2pu.org/general/node/5574/forums/9415#comment-4054 those discussions, "paragogy" was born], and we published our [[v:File:Paragogy-final.pdf|first paper on the topic on 'Wikiversity]].  Months later, internet pioneer [[w:en:Howard Rheingold|Howard Rheingold]] seeded his own work on collaborative learning with some of the ideas of from paragogy, and thus began the Peeragogy project proper.  As we worked together on the [[b:Peeragogy Handbook V1.0|Peeragogy Handbook]], we drew on the varied background of contributors, and documented our collective successes and failures in a collection of patterns and anti-patterns.  After the book had matured, peeragogue Fabrizio Terzi [[it:b:Peeragogia|began using '''Wikibooks''' as a platform for building and sharing translations]].  Recently, Joe spoke with [[wmf:Jonathan T. Morgan|Jonathan Morgan]] of Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), who expressed interest in reusing and building upon the collection of Peeragogy patterns on '''Meta''' as part of his effort to build WMF's "learning strategy".

We have already interacted in a substantial way with many of the Wikimedia projects.  Our goal is to take it to the next level, and strengthen our connections with Wikimedia, by:

* Documenting the peer learning patterns that are ''in use by Wikimedians on a daily basis''
* Inviting more Wikimedians to ''contribute case studies'' of their own peer learning activities (whether on or off wiki)
* ''Coordinating translations'' of our latest "stable" version of the handbook into multiple languages; and
* Helping to ''build multiple international peeragogy communities'', to take this work further in culture-specific contexts.
* Researching and then writing case studies on Wikimedian Peeraogical instances

==Project plan==
<!--Leave this blank.-->
===Scope:===
====Scope and activities====
<!--What will you spend your time doing if this project is funded? What will be completed by the end of the project?-->
We propose to become more active "participant observers" in the Wikimedia community, documenting the patterns and anti-patterns of peeragogy that we observe, and relating these patterns to our existing catalog.  In order to facilitate an international scope of this effort, we will translate the Peeragogy handbook into (at least) Spanish and Italian, and will coordinate volunteer translation work in other languages, and the development of a global peer learning reportage cycle.  At the end of the project, we will have a peeragogical portait of the Wikimedia movement, including observations on its future development.

====Tools, technologies, and techniques====
<!--What kinds of things do you expect you’ll need most in order to complete your project? -->
<!--Examples: outreach, meetups, surveys, database queries, gadgets for wikipages, Wikimedia merchandise for volunteers, etc-->
We have used a range of tools, beginning with a [http://socialmediaclassroom.com/host/peeragogy/ Social Media Classroom], evoliving into our Wordpress site ([http://peeragogy.org peeragogy.org]), which at any given point in time contains the "canonical" text, and Pandoc as a format shifter, to produce derived LaTeX and Mediawiki versions of the book.  These versions are archived [https://github.com/holtzermann17/peeragogy-handbook on Github].  As indicated above, we are using Wikibooks as a place to coordinate translations.  We currently use a Google+ community to coordinate and share work, and have used various tools (e.g. Drupal, Google Docs, Etherpad) for authoring.

In order to carry out this work, we will primarily use methods of participant observation: one of our deliverables will be an analysis of the specific techniques of online ethnography that are most applicable.

We have built a strong volunteer community, and we are inviting some of the key contributors to date to join this focused phase of the project and help us build a focused study of a key peer production and peer learning community.

===Budget:===
====Total amount requested====
<!--Please list the total grant amount you are requesting in USD or local currency (USD will be assumed if no other currency is specified).-->

$28,750

====Budget breakdown====
<!--How you will use the funds you are requesting? You can create a table with the table button from the toolbar above, or just list bullet points.-->
<!--Examples: Travel roundtrip from Bangladesh to India: (Amount) USD, Visual design contractor: (Amount) USD, Project management: (Amount) USD, Wikimedia merchandise for volunteer giveaways: (Amount) USD, etc.-->

<blockquote style="color:teal;">''Note'': We think it will be useful to be made available small pots of money for "internal bidding" to other members and contributors who need funds to organize meetings, cover writing, equipment or transcription costs, etc.; if these funds are not used by the end of the project, they would be returned to WMF.  Documenting the use of this internal budget will be one of the deliverables in the project.  We would like to work with WMF at the outset to develop a suitable budgetary oversight mechanism for dealing with the range of incidental expenses that cannot be predicted at the outset of the project.</blockquote>

===Intended impact:===
====Peeragogy Wikipedia Educational program:====
[[File:WikipediaEducationProgramLogo.svg|250px|left|Peeragogy Wikipedia Educational program]]
====Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)====
*[[Meta:Babylon]] '''Translation requests'''
**Peeragogy Handbook V2.0 multilingual wiki
*Peeragogy Wikipedia Educational program

====Target audience====
<!--Who will be better served or impacted as a result of this project?-->
The Wikimedia community in meta and micro senses.

More specifically, the outcome of our work will be useful as a "strategy" document, an informally produced follow-up to the [[strategy:Main_Page|Strategic Planning]] wiki that was produced in 2009-2010.  At the same time, the artifacts we produce will be useful to other people who want to develop strategies for collaboratively working, and learning, the Wiki Way.

====Fit with strategy====
<!--What crucial thing are you trying to change or have an effect on in the Wikimedia movement with this project? Please select a Wikimedia strategic priority that your project most directly aims to impact and explain how your project fits-->
<!--Examples of strategic priorities: Increasing Reach (more people are able to access Wikimedia projects), Improving Quality (better quality and quantity of content on Wikimedia projects), Increasing Participation (larger and more diverse groups of people are contributing to Wikimedia projects)-->

'''Encourage innovation''': We will provide a sort of mid-term audit of the 2010 strategy, and help build forward towards a broader strategy for the Wikimedia movement.

====Sustainability====
<!--What do you expect will happen to your project after the grant ends? How might the project be continued or grown in new ways afterwards?-->
The Peeragogy Handbook is public domain and is available both as a free download and for purchase as a soft-cover book.  We plan to release a new version of the book yearly on January 1st (Public Domain Day), as long as the project is sustained.  We hope that working together with Wikimedia will infuse our project with significant community spirit and vitality -- as indicated above, one of our central goals is to contribute to i18n of strategic discussions and international collaboration.

====Measures of success====
<!--How will you know if the project is successful? What are the targets, metrics, or measurable criteria will you use to learn if you’ve met your goals?-->

* Number of contributed translations (we will contribute 2 of these, but we would like to see more projects successfully working, and building their own peeragogy communities)
* Number of contributed case studies (these will be drawn from Wikimedia experiences and from other people using peeragogy)
* Number of new or modified patterns and anti-patterns (one useful check is whether we have case studies that exhibit each of the patterns at work)
