1) Peer learning among adult students can achieve better learning outcomes than formal learning alone by allowing students to learn from each other's experiences, questions, and practice. 2) Digital literacy skills are increasingly important for adults and demand new approaches like peer learning and networking to facilitate sharing, collaboration, and learning from others. 3) A peer learning course for developing digital competencies showed improvement in students' skills over time as beginners became more moderate or expert users through self-organized learning, online lessons, team projects, and just-in-time individual and group support.

Feedback “Despite my deficient personal “I was a bit confused in the skills I’ve always been interested in beginning but step by step I learning more about social media started to realize, what is going and online working, just have been on. Maybe the confusion in the too shy to try them on my own. beginning was due of the fact That leads us to the best part of that teachers gave us “free this process: learning together hands” nothing too structured. I with our group and supporting think the learning process is the each other in everyone’s’ own key point of this course. “ learning process. It was also a pleasant experience to be able to advice the other team members at least in some ways.”

Editor's Notes
- #2 Digital litercy skills??
- #7 Learn from myself and from others - systematically Seeking of new aspects, methods to improve own practises and own learning Benchlearning vastavuoroista, internal and externat näkökulmat käytössä Yhteiset arviointikohteet / avaintekijät helpottavat oppimista vertaisten kanssa - ei ole satunnaista – perustuu dialogiin, toisen osaamisen arvostamiseen ja toisen osapuolen kuuntelemiseen
- #8 Avoin vuorovaikutus toisten kanssa – luottamus Vaihtuvat roolit : Arvioitsijana ja arvioitavana oleminen auttaa näkemään 'toisen' kannalta Ei ole paremmuuteen asettamista tai asioiden selvittämistä ilman parantamista. Se on 'erityisen hyvän' tunnistamista ja sen ymmärtämistä, miten se on saavutettu Menestyksellisen toiminnan soveltamista omassa kontekstissa Parhaiksi todettujen toimintatapojen hyödyntäminen ja seuranta
