cool idea to expand parecon tribe
I could totally get behind this idea to build a more active online parecon community. It could work for networking, education, and community building. - Eli , posted 04/24/06

If you haven't yet discovered MIT's Open CourseWare project or similar free learning resources on the web, see creativecommons.org/education/

Free undergraduate and graduate level course materials (lectures, reading lists, etc.), as well as primary and secondary learning materials, are being offerred up to the world as free knowledge by a growing body o institutions and individuals.

The schools providing these materials do not offer tutorial assistance nor grant any credits / accreditations based on these courses - nor could they be expected to do so. Their primary use to date seems to be among the autodidact set or in other institutions.

I'm looking for others who are interested in making use of the MIT courses, but who (like me) find learning both easier and more productive in an interactive social forum. Specifically, I'm hoping to build a community or communities around not only a specific topic (Tribe does that already) but around a particular structured set of ideas (a specific discourse, to use the term I'm most used to). This would begin with a basic message board and/or scheduled text chat, structured around course modules. - Swivelhead , posted 02/16/05
