Training for/by peeragogues

[holtzermann17]

@paolaricaurte wrote a paper “Pedagogies for the open knowledge society” that contrasts teacher training in Wikimedia projects with training within Google for Education. The comparison hinges on the difference between knowledge-as-commons and knowledge-as-merchandise (plus capture of a user base and their data!).

What can peeragogy do to better support education projects and programs within Wikimedia projects, and peer projects more generally? This is a relevant facet of “onboarding”: not bringing people into this project directly, but using methods developed in the project to assist in other onboarding scenarios. Can we develop a remix of the Handbook for Wikimedians? Are there other media we should focus on (e.g. a weekly call with educators using Wiki?)
