Some text from the intro that got too long but has some sentences could use somewhere:
although of course there are plenty more who are not well known. So it makes sense to distribute this material as widely as possible; one obvious way might be record video footage of these people and make it openly available on the internet, which today is a trivial and cheap task. Of course there would be plenty of people, both material distributors and educators, who might want to do this on a commercial basis, but for the benefit of those learning, this is not the ideal model - it is vital that this material is freely available. Once this free repository contains some great material, it should encourage others to follow suit. Great respect will be given to those that do contribute good material and it is likely that reputation will be the driving factor for quality.
It cannot be expected, at least initially, for the educators to do this spontaneously, there needs to be a concerted effort to target inspirational individuals and record their material. Anyone would be free to submit material too and as there
There would likely be plenty of bad material, but the good stuff will bubble it way up to the top.
Teachers can then use this resource to help them introduce new subjects.
There are teachers and educators for every module of every subject
Making the material of the most interesting educators available to anyone. Video and interactive material. Many teachers become learning managers, making sure the students understand what is being explained, supervising experiments etc.
What is being explained must be made relevant to the person consuming it. Subjects should be linked together rather than artificially partitioned.
The importance of understanding other other people. Understanding other cultures, Empathy etc
Learning things that are not necessarily taught in schools currently, i.e. thinking for yourself, getting the best out of other people, avoiding or resolving conflict etc.
