death of american college model? 48th year exploring online learning

if i could choose 2 people to learn from every day i'd start with jack ma - latest gift wuhan nurses handbook - and fazle abed whose death last december has friends rushing to build the abed university of brac and osun top 1/20 gifts from abed partners -1 wise online learning

guides to sustaining future- 37 years ago online education 1 2 3; 30 years ago end of politicians as liars in chief - 37 years ago searching to make health and safety 8 times more affordable 35 years ago loving asian pacific youth where asians are most of the world and situated in most of the urgent sdg hubs - how teachers and students zoom to sdg action nets

so the idea of a college town receiving massive football visitors in winter term and hosting basketball visitors twice a week in spring is dead while corona rules the world- maybe we should take this sustainability goals opportunity to host 2 different national worldships- the winter term could be led by female students- solutions we most want to telenetwork this year are- the spring term could show off tech solutions- how have we app'd something across our place, any wish to franchise it with students who want to serve their place

some might say colleges always should have celebrated their community service heroes anyway if we hadnt been misled by a fake advertising world instead of a knowhow economy where actionable knowhow multiplies value in use unlike consuming up things

of course if you ever want sports to blossom again you both needed to make testing as cheap and everywhere possible as eg korea, and you also need to ask medics the question nobody is asking - ill a test be possible to prove someone is a corona survivir- corona survivors are now the most valuable travellers and community servants balancing out what the rest of us may have to do as telecommuters

2020s humanity's last call to end virus, value climate and much moore- eg end being ruled by politics and media of fear - see eg otto scharmer's summary pictured below

breaking wheres the maths?

thanks to jfk i was teen of no mission impossible 1960s - it became clear that the paper economies of pound and dollar would be a drag on sustainable youth compared with 4 amazingly graceful post-industrial economies - unlike zero sum games of consuming up thinks- life critical knowhow multiplies value in use especially if your generation needs to fight virus of climate contagion- all of these future opportunities to advance the human lot depend on moving beyond classroom schooling

20 other pitches from un meeting 2016 of 20 nations most concerned leaders of #learningeneration at www.economistlearning.com -we didn't actually need a virus to see from start of personal computer web 1G era -on line edu, true media- that our species sustainability depended on valuing millennials edutech wherever there is a solution on the other side of the world that any community needs- if you are still in doubt attend the annual tufts arctic circle youth convention - their classes across usa russia canada nordica are bringing ech other meltdown challenges that need simultaneous resolution all around the arctic belt

or in my family's case where mumbai chief justice grandad sir kenneth kemp started listening to gandhi and montessori asian village solutions 100 years ago, i would recommend you start at the abed university of brac partnership with its partners in bangladesh, ny state, arizona, vinna, and that's before we get to the 20 biggest investors in fazle abed -empowered womens lifelong learning such as billion dollar gifter dfid, billanthropisats gats founbdation, jack ma. and so forth

4 win-win economies as long as we celebrqate every way worldwide youth share solutins to community challenges

space by which we really mean satlliteteleom consequences - death of distane apps life critical knohow, since 4G 2010sa world of new cloud data on how human crowds behave answering the economist geofffrey crother query at claremont-

von neumann and moores trillion times more 2020s number cruncher than needed to code moon landing-but even the greatest artificial intelligence needs guiding to what data is within its purpose

american deming whose better engine economics was ill received by post war american giants with serendipity that asians have become best in breed atr eg bullet trains, container shipped supply chains, clustrers of supercities -eg tokyo tiawan hk singpaore seoul and that just takes us to 1978

rural keynes thanks to borlaugs rice science, and thevttory of how thegretest life saving cure was given away as a we love education promo -see eg fazle abed, chen and chen james grant

but instead of star wars dogfights i wanted to understand www.girlsworldbank.com how satellite telecoms would mobilise death of distance. how students could linkin with life critical knowhow that multiplies value in use unlike consuming up things, what big data analysis we would use machine intel for when machine had far more brainpower than humans- the good news is we humans guide them to what data to look at - eg share all cancer patient records in one database - see what new maps emerge- maps not numbers are my favorite mat apps and their proof of use is done by we the peoples not need to now commanders in chief

on my first of 10 visits to beijing to research the hub-hikers guide to china i drove my chinese translator crazy- must see mooc hub first -not then top 100 sights to see- for anyone intending to study or teach its better than 3 star

workshop proceedings of the 11th international ... - Core core.ac.uk ? download ? pdf

Haidian district, Beijing 100875, P.R. China; E-mail: [email protected]. ... begin in the central MOOC hub, the core of collaborative educational action may shift.

with MA in statistics corpus christi cambridge 1973 , my first full time job uk national development project - computer assisted learning - university of leeds- my father normamacrae.net at the economist and i published the 2025 report in 1984/5 which was updated in different languages to 1992 new vikings sweden- -here is typical chapter written 1984 on why online learning would determine 21st c sustainability

welcome sharing nominations of online learning awards as well as those creating livelihoods by taking education outside classroom - in normal times serving the community and sme entrepreneurship depends on bubs - we have co-authored the good hubds guide since 2006

here are some hall of fame highlights since 1984

https://thelearningweb.net new zealand cluster of schools that have led experiments in online learning - around 2000 their book of ideas was read by 10 million chinese families

moocs have frustrated most western millennials- as my favorite ever educator fazle abed www.fazleabed.com who died dec 2019-i get massive open online but why not c for cooperation - sustainability challenges start at community levels and last mile services - most communities urgently need to replicate solutions and benchmark with each other - i will do what i can to multily partners of girls world number 1 university partnership of sdgs - www.economistrefugee.com osun brad brac ceu arizona online ashesi- why not your college...

china colleges way ahead in sharing their best professors on moocs- more over the wise education laureates has so far visited about 8 capitals- beijing was far the most illuminating with national broadcasters passionately interviewing teachers on why werent they doing even better in living up to jack ma's quest

between 2016-2018 i was luck enough to visit tsinghua 10 times - it took about 40 hours to walk around the campus- special thanks to thecscholars who provided me with translations- it was amazing to track the birth of schwarzman scholars making borderless friendships among 100 nations mos sdg concerned youth

hujiang became one oelearings first unicorn mobilising laguage learning - it gives back linking in 40000 person live class rooms among thousands of china's most remote schools and beijings best teachers

the arctic circle bothers me a lot- nations who share this northern belt road will determine climate meltdown- national leaders are far behind in mediating this concern- i congratulate tufts on annualing inviting graduates from arctic circle sharing curricula they need

its a pity the west testing of corona has been so pathetic- youth who get corona first will be the best community health servants - this is known among last mile heath workers from every infections disease network- south korea deserves greatest awards for mobilising data needed to resolve this global health challenge- china's courage amazes me -its time america listened to people like jim kim larry brilliant paul farmer- i live near nih and regard their lack of understanding of community statistics as far more scary than whatever happens next to the dow-who else's twitter chatter do you listen to first so we the peoples end this virus

the lancet has for years now advocated peer to peer ten health as number 1 missing curricula worldwide - lets do it - meanwhile being a diaspora scot i want to go back to 1760 at glasgow u where 2 young me by name of watt and smith started up diaries on the futures of engines and the future of moral markets - do you have something interesting ro share with tens of millions of class o 2020 who needed to understand what adam smith hoped the first 260 years or moral sentiment value exchanges would spend human lifteimes on

dear editors of mooc on adam smith...to my knowledge 4 optimistic smithians edited the first 150 years of the economist and that i have 3 booklets on the least known geoffrey crowther editor through 1930s-1950s - here are 2 extracts- if you want me to laser digitalise the booklets please say  (other 3 james wilson founder, son-in-law walter bagehot who helped victoria change constitution to commonwealth albeit too late for 1914, and perhaps my father norman macrae) who was helped a lot by crowther, prodi, jenkins, soros, gifford pinchot and drucker)

book of 3 lectures to claremont 1956 wealth and poverty of nations

i have been rereading lectures i gave claremont february 1948 Economic Reconstruction Europe -cast your mind back- the subject then meant the Marshall Plan. Back then I was told I shone an optimistic light.

Today i am to give 3 lectures on the wealth and poverty of nations. These lectures are separate but they have a close connection with each other.and i would like to start with that- what i might call a philosophic connection between them. i was brought up as an economist- a particularly narrow variety, a Cambridge economist. i was taught to regard economics as a fundamental subject, as one that sent its roots right down to bedrock. i was taught to believe that economic events could be explained by economic causes. ; that such things as movement in prices , in money, in supply , in demand and the rest of the elements of the economic problem were independent variables responding to fundamental causes in society. i don't think i want to retract very much of that, but i have increasingly come to believe that behind the economic phenomena with which the profession of economists concern themselves is something more fundamental upon which they are dependent and we are the expression. 

this more fundamental thing is the collective attitude of mind, the mass psychology, the circumambient mental atmosphere of the society in which we live. throughout these lectures i will be searching back behind economic phenomena for the psychological bases that bring them into existence

cut to final page 48

you will see that at every stage in this very brief and summary analysis, i have reached the conclusion that the decisive issues are psychological.They lie in the minds of the people not in the economic buttons that the economist can press. my basic reason for being sceptical about the command that the community of human beings has over this particular section of its destiny is that for all the work done on economics, for all the work that has been done on individual psychology, very little work has been done on mass psychology, on what it is causes a community of millions of human beings to think one way at one time, and one way at another. what causes these great mass mentalities? if we know what causes them, how can we change them? on all that great area of knowledge - or rather of ignorance - which seems to me to be basic to the practical problem of every day, very few beams of light have been shed. my basic reason for sceptism is the belief that since mankind has gone crazy before, it is reasonable to suppose it could do so again.

12 lectures at british broadcasting corporation 1936

book title - studying the economic structure of great britain today

we have been studying in this program the economic system by which we earn our living.some people consider that system to be marvellous. others consider it to be unjust. but whether marvellous or unjust- and it is both - everybody who studies it must admit it is infinitely complicated. there is no simple solution for our economic woes. the economic system cannot be made perfect by any simple book-keeping, or a handful of acts of parliament, or by printing paper money. i wish there were some simple solution, but there is not. the system can be improved; it must be improved. but if i have done nothing else in this book, i hope i have shown you some of the reasons why it cannot be brought to perfection in a week, or year or a decade or even in a generation. why, indeed, should anybody think that is easier to understand , to control, to cure, the infinite complexity of the social organism of two thousand million human beings, each of them moved by fear or habit or jealousy as often as by reason- easier to do that than to understand, shall we say the workings of the human body? yet nobody expects the doctors to make us all permanently and perfectly healthy between now and next week. why should more be expected of the economists in their infinitely more difficult task? their labour will be hard and fruitful and it will have its defeats as well as its victories.but though their progress may be slow, they can justly claim they are working for the welfare of the human race with a devotion fully as great as that of the physician or educator.
