Creating the Asian Autonomous Learning Industry - Is it the only way to solve the Asian and African education crisis? I think so...



My goals isn't to improve the edu condition, it is to ultimately solve Asian and African education crisis once and for all by creating the autonomous learning (AL) industry that will make schools and teachers mere accessories to learning and not requirements for learning. How we do this is simple... we create a multiple eSingularity Prize for Autonomous Learning Innovation to reward the innovation and creation of the AL technology that will radically transform global education and learning. This innovation or prize will NEVER come out of the West because it would be squished my Big Publishing and the extremely powerful teacher unions who will not allow AI in Western education out of the fear it will eliminate jobs - which is nonsense.

So I propose is that we work together on this... read http://bit.ly/50esKL My position is we run a pilot in KL, Malaysia... then we leverage KL success. The simple fact is, if we can raise $50m in KL, Malaysia for a Prize for AL, how much do u think we can raise in Dubai, Singapore, India, China? US investors would fund it too. Can we leverage the $50m into a $500m or higher Prize and as part of the requirement we have rights to use the IP that is developed and ultimately become the dominate group behind a yet to be established AL industry? The real money is not in the free public AL education I want to make available globally, but in the private AL industry that will completely change HR, workforce dev, certification programming etc... do you get it?

We need some little $$ to make this happen, I can raise the $50m, if I can meet with investors face-to-face. I am an experiences capital campaign director and I have a system in my possession that has raised over $1.6 billion for npos in the US using a feasibility/face-to-face solicitation system. With the right help we can move this in a massive way and you can either be part of it or watch it happen... if you know serial angel I want to talk to him.

eSingularity "education 3.0 autonomous learning (tm)"

Recently I presented at Barcamp Orlando and Sarasota. Both times I talked about education 3.0 the paradigm shift it will bring about. So what is education 3.0, the education singularity or eSingularity for short?  What will cause it and when will this moment happen? The paradigm shift that has to happen is this... we must view school and formal teaching as accessories to learning and not requirements for it. That shift is happening in the "At Home" movement that is sweeping across the US.  But the real innovation is set for Asia because the reality is they have an education crisis, not a problem like in the West. They can't build the needed schools or train enough teachers not meet current demand let alone future demand. So what is Education 3.0? It's a transition in to autonomous learning (tm).  Whats autonomous learning it is when a device becomes both your school and teacher. The iphone can become an autonomous learning device using Siri software. I should be able to tell Siri software what app I want and it should deliver it to me. It should also take into consideration my age and learning ability by asking and me responding to some simple questions. The age for autonomous learning is just around the corner and with it, provide the right folks develop it, eSingularity can happen. The opportunity is to make all learning free and accessible to all by funding the eSingularity Prize for Autonomous Learning that seeks to bring about 1000s of autonomous education solutions for a new global education paradigm that is built on multimedia content delivered and aggregated on wikitube.tv.

We are a nexus and the e3o-Tsunami or e3o-Sputnik headed our way will be far bigger in impact than 1000 industrial revolutions because it will mean for the first time human history that education becomes a natural right afforded to all and not just a few!
