== 1. Review the intention: what do we expect to learn or make together? ==

   - Joe (J): Came here expecting to discuss Charlie's comic book paper
   - Charlie D (CD): I came expecting to share an update about our comic
   book pattern paper for PLoP 2024 conference proceedings

https://plopcon.org/plop2024/submissions/

   - Cris (C): Came with a question about the peeragogy handbook and
   expecting to be more active in conversation
   - Mary (M): Prepared to talk about papers in progress

== 2. Establish what is happening: what and how are we learning? ==

   - C: was more active in the conversation today!
   - CD: planning to get final versions of papers submitted tonight
   - C: Some story telling about how we learn

== 3. What are some different perspectives on what’s happening? ==

   - J: Talking about a variety of topics we became very creative
   (wikipedia, language, music)
   -
   - When you agree with virtual avatar, character it's like a peer

== 4. What did we learn or change? ==

   - CD: Consequences of creating an environment that has a "culture of
   mistakes" for learning; if mistakes are not OK, people learn differently
   and are less willing to take risks than in other environments.
   - J: How much freedom do people want/need for learning?  Some will want
   more structure, some will want more freedom.  Maybe also for topics! Can
   happen in piano lessons
   - C: it's not making mistake is the problem ... it's worry about how the
   mistake will be perceived
   - J:"No you are WRONG!" => more afraid.  Or "Oh, how interesting that
   you have discovered a new way to do this!"
   - C: based on a person's past experiences with making mistakes while
   learning indicates their willingness to make future mistakes
   - J: culture of where learning occurred, some math courses encourage
   questions, others have students silently listen
   - J: Being lost when listening is a loss of control ... the need to be
   in control creates tension!
   - J: If you were a child, you wouldn't understand any of this, but you
   would grow and start understanding
   - M: Also sometimes people try to intentionally have you not understand
   - C: Enforced perspective that this is a very supportive group :)

== 5. What else should we change going forward? ==

   - Explore more the idea Joe suggested about characters in a story being
   peers, especially considering their perspective

   - Update Wikibook edition of Handbook to include more recent content
   from 3rd Edition on the website

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Peeragogy_Handbook

https://peeragogy.org/

   - J: Feels more confident going into his open research handbook session,
   giving people more of a chance to talk

   - C: Incorporate Cris' suggestion of how cooperative games are another
   way to get everyone involved in a class into the comic book PLoP paper ...
   things that put the action in the person watching the class is better ...
   moves them from passive to active
