Key Points:
The host student was more than a substitute resource, offering additional positive elements, viz -
a). Accessibility to learners – commonality from involvement in the learning experience, lowering the power gradient, contemporary vocabulary

c). Enjoyable – fewer time pressures, less sense of “being a nuisance”
d). Contributing to host achieving their own learning outcomes
