Introduction
(Prague, 1997) High energy, passionate about universal education, avid sailor
I’m John Hibbs, fast approaching age 70, a resident of Eugene, Oregon, home of the University of Oregon Ducks. I put up this site to augment the central passion of my life: To help accelerate strong forces designed to greatly increase access to education, worldwide. Those forces are already well-underway – everywhere!
I am proud to have created Global Learn Day, a 24 hour/24 time zone event which annually featured the world’s leaders in education and technology.
We sail again in October 2013. Snapshot Here
The 2013 Global Learn Day Voyage will have three major topics where the best and the brightest in each will be featured
- Massive Open On Line Courses – for classes 100,000 & up
- Increasing female access to education – especially where they need it the most
- Mitigating the risks of an unhealthy ocean with advocacy through use of Massive Open On Line Course Technology
We will add some spice this year by conversations that ask the question: What travel sites are on your Bucket List? More on the Bucket List? Click here
Welcome to this site. And thank you for the visit.
Hi John,
I keep meaning to reply on the (clunky forum) but, unless I do so right off, finding the post is a hassle by the time I get to it.
Are you familiar with connectivist MOOC/s or OER movement?
Here’s a real fire hose of a smart newsletter mostly about open online learning, http://www.downes.ca/
