Vision
Flatten Global Learning using Information Technology

How will we achieve our vision? By:

 * developing Wikitube OS Software
 * building K12 Online Play-Learn System
 * partnering with existing Media Archives
 * Uniting key strategic partners

Wikitube: Open-Source Platform
Think… a metaWiki…Youtube, meets Myspace, and a multimedia flicker.

What is Wikitube?

 * Bookmark chunk of video footage from a source creating objective based learning modules (OBLM)
 * Browse a library of OBLMs and leave comments or make improvements to them
 * Creating testing module units that then can be edited and linked to OBLMs
 * Ability to improve, edit or comment on any OBLM or testing modules

Wikitube Tools?

 * Registered users will have their own workspace.
 * Lock narrative and content to specific group users
 * Ability to listen and make a voice-over, then fade out the original and add yours (multi-language).
 * Add karaoke subtitles in any language– these actually will highlight as the text is heard.
 * Add special effects to the clip.
 * Create quizzes and fun tests

K12 Online: Open-Source Platform
Pokémon meets “who wants to be a millionaire,” but on steroids.

K12 Online Overview: Play-Learn System
A fast paced, non textual learning system /game Easy to use: Point-touch/click (built for multi-touch screens) Accessible/playable via any net device. Limited functioning envisioned. 2D environment (Accessible via 3d worlds Second Life, Alice etc…) Uses every Pavlovian trick to keep the users wanting to come back for more learning: points, prizes, awards, graphics, etc.. Capability for kids to win scholarships to leading universities Powerful uses Mathematica and other leading imbedded applications

K12 Online Game: Play-Learn System

 * Professionally developed like leading online games
 * Movie Narrative story-line tied to wikitube
 * Avatar driven: Black & White meets Sims.
 * As the student learns so does their avatar (gains powers etc).
 * Simple approach: Watch…test…reward
 * Points can be spent on prizes
 * Games break-up activities

K12 Online Technology: Play-Learn System

 * “Intelligent” software – K12 Online will learn the user personality, there traits and have the ability to identify extraordinary users.
 * IQD – creates a detailed IQ Diagram of the user. Maybe helpful for job placement and vocation search.
 * Keeps re-testing the user to insure abilities education milestones aren't forgotten

Multi Media Archive
