Summary: In recent years, higher education institutions have shifted teaching online due to the pandemic. The Remote Learning Project (RLP) at the Norwich Medical School used peer-to-peer teaching through Facebook to supplement medical school teaching. This study explored the perceptions of tutors and learners regarding peer-to-peer online learning on the Facebook platform. The findings suggest that social media can be a credible platform for delivering online peer-to-peer teaching.

Summary: Before the training, there were no significant differences between the groups in feedback functions and aspects. After the training, the group with peer modelling plus discussion gave significantly more positive feedback compared to the group with non-peer modelled examples. However, no other functions or aspects showed significant differences, likely due to large variations in effort put into giving peer feedback by different students.

Summary: This study developed online peer critique activities and computer-based epistemic scaffolds in a data visualization module. Two classes with a total of 65 11th-grade students participated and were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. Students' critiques of data visualizations were collected and analyzed, and the impact of the scaffolds and online peer critiquing was evidenced. The results provide insights into the roles and relations among critiquing, scaffolding, and personal epistemology.

Summary: Past research has shown that helping behavior plays a vital role in academic settings, but little is known about peer-to-peer help-giving in online learning environments. This study aimed to understand the conditions for effective peer help-giving in online college course discussion forums. The findings revealed that help-giving replies could be direct or indirect, and the model developed contributes to enhancing online learning opportunities for students.

Summary: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vast interconnected network of devices that allows any physical object to be part of the global network. However, IoT faces challenges such as a large number of devices, exponential data generation, and limited resources. Peer-to-Peer DHT-Based approaches can meet the requirements of IoT applications but encounter issues with network scalability and resource allocation. To address these limitations, a novel mapping mechanism and customized routing mechanism are proposed to enhance the performance of IoT systems.
