Welcome to all

Liam ,

does your project have a webpage?

I study 'open schools' from a 'learning ecosystem' viewpoint


Many people I know are interested in 'unschooling', or how to develop more
innovative, less stiff learning models, but we are yet to find a way forward
to get rid of universities once and for all

(talking bout a revolution?

One example is superschools, here is my class scheduled next week

Hope to chat some day

cheers

PDM
