What is Peer Learning

Chapter 34
Handbook of Research on Socio-Technical Design and Social Networking Systems
An alternative to the one-on-one strategy, co-operative strategies comprise an additional element, namely peer interaction. Co-operative learning systems, called also social learning systems, adopt a constructive approach using the computer more as a partner then as a tutor. Multiple agents that are either computer simulated or real human beings can work on the same computer or share a computer network. The e-learning community is increasingly recognising the importance of students learning from their study peers. When peers come together in a learning context they form an Online Learning Community.

Abstract
Affective computing is a new artificial intelligence area that deals with the possibility of making computers able to recognize human emotions in different ways. This chapter represents an implemented framework, which integrates this new area with an intelligent tutoring system. The authors argue that tutor agents providing socially appropriate affective behaviors would provide a new dimension for collaborative learning systems. The main goal is to analyse learner facial expressions and show how affective computing could contribute to learning interactions, both by recognizing learner emotions during learning sessions and by responding appropriately.
