Today I got quite a bit further in my tutorial class. I finally felt the break past the wall that I've been facing for about 4 months now. While the work is still nearly overwhelming I no longer feel that sense of impossibility that comes from so many things crashing down all at once.
It's like a light went on in a dim room where only shadows were seen before. Now I have a concrete idea of where to go, and tomorrow I will be discussing with the convener of the LSBA (Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts) programme in Capilano University (my university) about possibilities of final project.
So I'll let you in on it a little more.
Essentially I'm working to create a world-wide accessible form of education that can be accessed by the layman, that is to say anyone with access to a computer (even if it means minimal access) and no need for an account, but at the same time, people with accounts can participate in personal blogs, and educator (be they teachers, doctorates, institutions, or countries) blogs and forums, and then there'll be accounts for each of the bracketed groups. This way people can create, then reciprocate.
The idea is that a country like China can 'cherry pick' ideas for a new educational system and create their OWN system (rather than being told) based on the information they can access. From there, they can then re-submit (reciprocate) their newly developed system (as a combination of global ideas) back into the matrix of educational platforms and methods so others can see just what's been done.
This will facilitate globalized (not 'globalization' in the sense of 'free trade across borders' but rather, 'borderless') methods of education. It is my intent to generate a new way of approaching educational structures to give the greatest forms of flexibility while still providing individual presentation of materials. No one country or institution will be TOLD what to do, rather that they'll be given the option of a DIALOGUE in their own creation.
I could go on for hours typing out definitions and exploratory ideas, but that will be released in my thesis document, in full.
