peer sharing

Learners share their experiences and perspectives with the group to provide different perspectives and contextual applications of theory and practice.

Peer sharing is an opportunity to expose learners to different experiences, interpretations, perspectives and opinions. The aim of sharing isn't to convince learners of another opinion or to reach a consensus but to demonstrate to learners that there is breadth and variation in the chosen topic or concept. This activity is best suited to points in the course when drawing on the diversity within the class is beneficial. Use questions and prompts that learners can react and respond to that draws on their opinions and experiences rather than a specific answer. Choose prompts with the potential for each learner to respond differently, rather than those within a narrow scope of answers.
