I really loved reading the kit and this thread — it feels like something new is quietly taking shape here. The move from “student + AI” to “group + AI” isn’t just a workflow change; it’s a whole new way of thinking together.
When humans and LLMs start co-learning, the group itself becomes a kind of living mind — reflective, distributed, and creative. Maybe that’s the next step for Peeragogy: discovering how our collective intelligence grows when we include these new cognitive partners in the process.

Hi everyone,
Reading this thread (and Howard’s reflection from Berkeley) reminded me of something essential: the real experiment is trusting the group — and now, trusting the group that includes AI.
Charlie, your paper and the “focus group with LLM agents” approach feels like the natural next iteration of what Howard once started in his classrooms — moving from teacher–student dynamics to a co-learning circle.
What if we tried to recreate that same kind of session, but this time as a Peeragogy + Pyragogy experiment?
A small group could use Learnplace.ai or another collaborative environment to run a live co-learning session with human peers and one or more AI peers — guided by the “Peeragogy Starter Kit” and the paper you shared.
The goal would be to observe how agency, reflection, and shared meaning evolve when the AI is part of the dialogue — not as a tool, but as a participating mind. We could document it as a mini “Peer-AI Learning Lab” and share the outcomes with the wider community.
I’d be happy to help host or scaffold the first prototype session. If there’s interest, I can draft a lightweight outline for how it might run (30–60 minutes, 5–6 participants, human + AI agents, reflective debrief).
What do you all think about starting there — a small experiment to embody the shift from ‘student + AI’ to ‘group + AI’?
Es: Learnplace.ai (free tool for test)
- Learning Objective: Generate a syllabus and create a learning session for the subject: Learning Peeragogy & Pyragogy for Groups.
- Motivation & Goals: My motivation for learning this: I want to explore how groups can learn with AI, not just from it — co-creating knowledge and shared meaning through peer-based, AI-enhanced collaboration. My goal is to understand both the theory (Peeragogy principles) and the emerging practice (Pyragogical frameworks).
- Current Knowledge Level: "My current knowledge and experience": I’m driven by both curiosity and purpose. I want to develop a replicable model for collective intelligence — a way to help communities, teams, and learning circles use AI as a reflective peer rather than a tutor or tool. Ultimately, I’d like to apply this in real projects (educational, artistic, or organizational) and help others experience learning as a creative, shared act.
(Bonus Goal: integrate this understanding into the Pyragogy ecosystem and the Pyragogical Diary project.)
Warmly,

Hi everyone,
I’ve been thinking about starting a blog, or maybe even a book project, using a structure I first experimented with in graduate school, along with some of the framing Joseph Pine used when launching The Transformative Economy.
The heart of the project would focus on my experience using AI as part of my recovery from a traumatic brain injury. The fall that caused my injury could have ended my life, but instead it shifted how I see the world. It reconnected me with a part of my younger self: creative, curious, and vibrant, before technology became such a dominant force in my day-to-day thinking.
I’m also really drawn to joining the Peeragogy Diary. As we figure out what this project will look like, I’m curious about experimenting with AI in our shared thinking process. I am especially interested in how both speaking up and stepping back, communication and silence, can each become their own kind of engagement. Both play a unique role in shaping creativity, and I would love to explore that together.
Recently, I came across a paper I wrote over 20 years ago on creativity and problem solving. Back then, I was fascinated by the question: Is the mind like a machine? It is a debate that has lived in psychology and philosophy for ages, but rediscovering that writing now felt strangely timely. It made me wonder whether it might be worth revisiting those ideas and exploring what it means to be human in an AI integrated world.
I am sharing all this because I value your perspectives, and I am curious to see what we might create together.
