"A Coaltion for Self-Learning, of 30+ authors spread from Japan to
Moscow has composed a book on-line "Creating Learning Communities."
The thesis is that the rapid growth of homeschooling, charter
schools, distance learning and other forms of cooprative
self-learning will have a profound affect on the future learning
system. The book is now on-line and ready for publication in May,
2000. With publication of the book the coalition plans to launch a
major campaign to promote a deep fundamental evaluation of the
learning system--envisioning a world without schools--a world of
learning communities.
We have plans for a press kit describing the concepts of creating
learning communities and showing local examples of models and
resources that exemplify that it is already happening. We welcome
others who are doing anything along these lines to join us and submit
information on their program for inclusion in our Press Kit.
