Free World U

Description

Our Vision: Our vision at Free World U is to utilize free, worldwide education to eliminate the root cause of social dysfunction. We envision a major positive social impact through innovative teaching methods that all students can learn from, using online illustrated flashcards teaching individual fact units as our primary tools.

We have discovered that almost all courses of study rely on a body of knowledge that can be broken down into fact units, the smallest division possible, analogous to an atom in chemistry. Each of these fact units can be expressed as a question and answer pair. Through electronic flashcards, computer programming, and the Internet, we have developed a system wherein each fact unit can be sorted by the student so that each fact unit is eliminated from the pool as it is mastered. The system remembers every student as an individual and the status of every fact unit for that student. We envision a school where students worldwide can gain a world-class, accredited education--without having to pay tuition or travel to a central location, from preschool to postgraduate school. We envision an interactive environment, where experts everywhere can share their knowledge and students receive immediate replies to their questions.

In addition to the state prescribed curriculum, we will add health and character development, relationships, dating, courtship and marriage, activities of daily living and careers. We will emphasize citizenship on a global level. In time, we believed that this will result in a palpable social change that will be reflected in the content projected in the news media and the general social atmosphere.
