Abstract
Learning with the learner in an asynchronous group learning approach is a promising method of education that provides a rich, interactive, and socially mediated education. As online learning became more prevalent, and more users are adopting this approach, innovative and theory-based educational activities became necessary. In this article, we introduce and describe a novel form of asynchronous, interactive, and socializing educational activity using educational technology.
The educational session is based on a small group learning activity that is made available for all learners anywhere and anytime. The approach avoids the trap of using educational technology for mere simulation of in-person learning. Based on learning theories, learning with the learner enhances interactive, self-directed, experiential, and social learning. Future development and enhancement with ongoing discussions through online chat platforms open the door for the continuous evolution of the concept.
•Educational technology has evolved from basic use to provide self-directed learning opportunities for learners.•Learning from learners offers a stimulating, socially interactive, and entertaining educational alternative approach.•It provides a better alternative to the classical video lectures or other unidirectional delivery of information activities.•It is a practical, easy to structure with a low-cost approach that accommodates how students like to learn.
