Analyzing the peer learning chain

Abstract

With the proliferation of information in scientific fields, it is difficult for educational institutions to keep the curriculum up-to-date and relevant, and this could lead to individuals overlooking new information. To bridge the gap, it is important to improve on current learning strategies. Hence,  this paper presents a new strategy for learning, the Peer Learning Chain (PLC). The PLC is where the learning process takes place between two persons just as in peer learning; the main difference is in the chain. Some characteristics of the PLC strategy include that it supports lifelong learning and facilitates continuous learning. In this paper, I explain how the PLC works, when it should be used, and why it is needed. In addition, I explain in detail how to keep up with the chain of new dynamic developments and maintain the accuracy of the information in the learning process.
