The Open Academy of Knowledge



Imagine a place where you can go to acquire a new peice of knowledge, attend a regular class in a course, or even getting a certification of what you have lready learned ... most importantly, for FREE

Imagine going to teach your class, give a seminar, or presenting your latest research to people who maybe anywhere and who may attend it anytime ... most importantly, for FREE

Imagine publishing your research in a peer reviewed community where you get the instant feedback from your reviewers and get cited instantly by those who are interested in your work ... most importantly, for FREE

OK, don't laugh, I know that you know how to do all that, the technology is all out there, and you have already used different parts of it, if not all ot it.

My point is that you and I need to get our heads together and form that sort of community together ... YES, there are a lot of issues, people are working on different types of projects that make up different pieces of the puzzle, but virtually no one of them believes that it can be reliable and trustworthy as attending "The University of XYZ" that is ranked #xyz on the world, and they would prefer to teach in "The Academy of BUGGY" that pays them Gazilion buggys ber year, and most importantly, they would prefer to publish thier research in the "International Journal of Nowhere-ism" that has an impact factor of 10^-25.

Now you realized that you are one of those! How to get out there and convince yourself, first, and others to contribute in the founding of this type of academy? An academy that charges no one any fees nor pays anyone any sallaries! Most importantly, an academy that could only, at best, provide you with a virtual lab to conduct your experiment.

I am SURE that many others out there have thought of this idea and many of them have written such a blog, letter, note, or even a paper. If you know any of them, help me getting them together, and give me the honor of joining them in realizing this dream, THE OPEN ACADEMY OF KNOWLEDGE
