Peer Production: Management, Educational Application, and Their Prospects

Abstract

Peer production, also named commons-based peer production, is a socio-economical phenomenon which has emerged within various Internet platforms and digital communities. Technological advancements have enabled individuals to collaborate for a common goal, including to produce goods, exchange knowledge, organize work, and create other kind of values by cooperation in a decentralized manner. Peer production has the potential to impact several segments of economy, social relations among the members of those groups, and individuals who are open new opportunities. The main purpose of the research is to answer the question of: Can peer production be used efficiently for educational purposes, especially in a digital post-Covid world? If so, how can it improve education? Additionally, the article briefly defines this phenomenon, outlines a theoretical approach to peer production, and discusses peer production practice in fields such as management and education. The research also identifies tools, ideas, solutions, and possibilities dedicated to improving education and educational management within the capacities of peer production. This study might be useful for educational facilities, research groups, or business entities.
