Quality Free Education for everyone...

Offering a top quality education to everyone around the world for free - this is an actuality thanks to the growing availability of internet access worldwide.
What will happen when;

  • education is accepted as a fundamental human right
  • life long learning for everyone at any point in their life

It is exciting to think of anyone anywhere in the world being able to make a better life for themselves, their families and their communities - at any point in their life, not just when they are at school, high school or university.

What amazing innovations will come more often from places currently deemed unlikely...


I was especially drawn to the concepts of mass peer assessment - a creative, power sharing and (thanks to the studies sited) valid way to deal with 100, 000 students all submitting paper for the same course deadline.
This also links to my love of the value of crowd sourcing (and my deeper spiritual belief in the power of the Universal Unconscious; as a group we know everything - not to mention the educational mantra T.E.A.M - Together Everyone Achieves More...)
