Most significant learning that contributes to improved performance takes place outside of formal training.

It occurs through informal and incidental forms of learning between peers.

This is called peer learning or peer-to-peer learning.

Effective use of peer learning requires realizing how much we can learn from each other (peer learning), experiencing the power of defying distance to solve problems together (remote learning), and feeling a growing sense of belonging to a community (social learning), emergent across country borders and health system levels (networked learning).

At the ASTMH annual meeting Symposium organized by Julie Jacobson, two TGLF Alumnae, María Monzón from Argentina and Ruth Allotey from Ghana, will be sharing their analyses and reflections of how they turned peer learning into action, results, and impact.

In his presentation, Reda Sadki, president of The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF), will explore:

  • What do we need to understand about digital learning?
  • Networked learning: rethinking learning architecture in the Digital Age
  • Social learning: peer learning is about making human connections
  • Practical examples of TGLF peer learning systems for WHO, Wellcome, UNICEF, and Bridges to Development that connect learning to change, results, and impact.
  • Emergent peer learning systems driven by local practitioner and community needs and priorities.
  • Join this #TropMed23 Peer Learning symposium on Day 2 of the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH).

    @JacobPhD Just came back from my first #TropMed23, as we’re working with Julie Jacobson on FGS and other topics. I stumbled onto your profile - a week after leaving Chicago, unfortunately
    Combining social, digital, and networked learning creates new affordances—ubiquitous, continuous, scaled peer learning. #learning #TropMed23 https://t.co/MZx8l1Vqnz

    Shift from expert to facilitator makes sense for peer learning. Social connections are key in a world of knowledge abundance. #learning #TropMed23 https://t.co/MZx8l1Vqnz

    Good teachers have always done formative assessment, but at scale peers can provide continuous recursive feedback. #learning #TropMed23 https://t.co/MZx8l1Vqnz

    Skepticism of online learning has roots in Plato’s critique of the written word as a “dead thing”. We must recognize virtual reality as lived reality. #learning #TropMed23 https://t.co/MZx8l1Vqnz

    If health workers don't share challenges and solutions, we fail. Peer learning is key. #learning #TropMed23 https://t.co/MZx8l1Vqnz
