“…The NICE SCS format of delivery is based on students supporting and assisting each other's learning. Peer teaching has been successfully promoting students' learning in a multitude of areas, from physical education (Irvine, Williams & McKenna, 2016) to mathematics (Duah, Croft & Inglis, 2014) and from science (Sullivan, Marshall & Tangney, 2015) to philosophy (Butchart, Handfield & Restall, 2009). However, it is in medicine and in other health related sciences that peer teaching has been most productively applied (Hall et al, 2014;van de Mortel, Silberberg, Ahern & Pit, 2016;Rashid, Sobowale & Gore, 2011).…”

“…The idea of using students as peer-teachers is not exceptional (e.g., Lang et al, 2017). Sullivan et al (2015) reported the experiences of students teaching other students in ICT skills. However, their context differs from the situation described in this article.…”

This study reports a practical experiment involving young pupils, their teachers and university students, named the Media Agent project. The purpose of the project was for the university students to teach the schoolchildren new Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, which they then would teach to other pupils and teachers at their own schools. The theoretical framework consists of students' pedagogical thinking and the concept of agency within the new Finnish Basic Education Curriculum (2014). By interviewing 18 pupils, the authors aimed to find out what their experiences of this project had been. In this qualitative study they used thematic analysis. The main themes that emerged from the data were (1) Media Agent; (2) the teaching event; and (3) impact. The results were very positive, although we also need to be somewhat critical towards them.

Thanks to the spreading of technological devices, as well as Internet services (Web 2.0), the areas and possibilities of lifelong learning and education have broadened nowadays. This article concerns the practical implementation of lifelong learning. Our assumption is that today there is also a possibility to inspire study circles in the online study environment with the involvement of community sites. The basis of this can also be given by a common topic of interest, and we analyze this as a study field of those people who cannot find the way to meet personally and who wish to study in their free time in a community (cf. lifelong learning, Longworth, 2001).We examine the opportunities of online study circles within the confines of a SWOT analysis. In this connection, one of our empirical examinations was aimed at studying the personal experience and views of students engaged in online study circles. At the same time, we also examined the possibilities of participant-centered methods that can be used in study circles (for example, project work). In the present study, we are going to select from the results of our empirical work carried out among students who study adult education (n = 103).
