Peer-to-Peer Interaction

Peer-to-peer interaction describes an approach to interaction and collaboration between participants in a shared project or activity that is characterized by network-based organizational structures, a shared common resource base, and an assumption that all participants have the potential to make constructive contributions. Modern forms of peer-to-peer interaction are substantially inspired by, and often themselves utilize, online peer-to-peer communication technologies; however, the principles and ethics of peer-to-peer interaction have also been translated to offline contexts
