About us Guidelines on Peer-learning
The BeyondScale roadmap on peer‐learning and HEI's take‐aways from peer‐learning experiences
Peer-learning is a way for partners to learn from each other effectively. At a time when the university resources are limited and demands upon the staff are increasing, it can be beneficial internal as well as external stakeholders of an HEI to learn from each other.
For peer‐learning to take place it is important to know who the “peers or buddies” are. For peer‐ learning to be achieved within the BeyondScale project a buddy system was created. The buddy system included internal HEI partners for the inbound projects, external for the outbound projects, and a system that involved project partners, associate partners as well as mentors.
