G.A.E.M.3.

The grad project is a go, is accepted, and is currently underway.

From here on in, it will be a great deal of work on my part to first learn to program (PHP, HTML 4/5, and Java (not JavaScript). In addition I will have to write anywhere from 20 to 60 pages of text detailing the outline of my project and the framework therein.

There will be several sublevels as well as front end development. Much of this (in the future) I will have to (likely) do on my own, but at the same time, there will be a significant effort to out-source the programming to others. If people are interested ~ I must stress that I am a task-master with a bent for perfection. Each segment and module that I or others program will be expected to function EXACTLY to spec, and nothing more. This means that if I request something that does the A+B=C algorithm, it will to precisely that and nothing more, nothing less. This will avoid complications and provide ease of use.

The project, as I have stated briefly previously, is one where I wish to open up the world of education to, well, the whole world. As it stands, education is a secretive society. Don't believe me? Here's something for you to try to figure out ~ and you have 15 minutes to find this information:

What books, what targets, what materials, what methods are used to teach English 12 by each teacher of that subject in North Vancouver Senior Secondary School? I'll save you the trouble - you won't find much, if anything. Not without a significant number of e-mails and a great deal of time. Even then - *IF* you're lucky, you'll be given the runabout until eventually someone takes pity on you and tells you what's what. Likely you'll have to go in person and nearly interrogate the teacher for the specific class in the specific school, and ask very specific questions else you'll wander off with even more questions.

My goal, is to bring all this information to bare and allow for anyone who can obtain access to the internet anywhere to get the information they want - so they can assess if the school or educational method is right for their child or themselves, or even their institution or state (country). This allows for freedom of development and access on a global scale.

Sounds like a lot of work doesn't it? It is. It will be an ongoing project for several years to come.

What do I get out of it?

Recognition, perhaps. A good job, maybe. A Nobel Peace Prize - not likely, but possible. Ultimately - the knowledge that I've managed to help millions of people globally access a once private system, and that for me is the penultimate goal.
