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.

The very best evidence of free deliveries is on high display at Coursera, (lead by — no surprise! – two Stanford gurus.)
In the same mold is the Khan Academy The collective impact of all of this will exceed, I say, the impact of either Gutenberg or Google.The folks on display at GLD were both harbinger and megaphone for what the Khan Academy and Coursera are now undertaking with zeal and brilliance.
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.
