Hi, I am involved in free education projects that hope to promote participation and sharing learning. I love the idea of COOCs (www.coocs.org), a free space for anyone, anywhere to make courses, share with others and all for free.
This same ethos lies behind Ragged Alliance, a free public lecture initiative. Using spaces open to the public, it is high energy learning and teaching by anyone, from anywhere to speak, discuss and use their own words and passions to share and create knowledge.
