There is a model of a web site or java script that provide school resources refrences to reading or actual study material and tests. I think its called blackboard, a program used in colledges for generic testing and group development projects. The basic idea would be to prvide an avitar university (a community colledge cariculum avoids issues associated with minors and content) most community colledges offer remedial courses thus addressing literacy and proported economic and ethnic accesability to education. Students in video production could tape courses making the teacher into an avitar to protect there privacy. Answers to questions could be interspersed with class questions and recorded to povide an interactive experiance to the course lecture, allowing questions after the lecture or homework, or as a tutorial. Students becoming teachers could as an ellective create a unit or chapter or portion of a chapter of class instruction or associated resources such as study aids and quizes to prepare them to do the same for there profesional carer. Students in business, computer science, IT, behavioral science, advertizing, marketing, science, PE (instuctional video), almost any field of endevor could make or contribute to the creation of an educational web site. Teachers simmilar to bussiness couses could make an instructional video and then recive a grade among there pears based on quiz scores of test groups after the presentation. Commercial sponsorship of these projects just like add sponsored TV, could go directly to the creator of the web page or be used to suport the project, pay down student loans, or fund community colledges. These web pages could be stored by governments or organizations seeking to promote public education. Or, on a site like curiki or simmilar projects (each of these curiculem projects should refrence each other to augment and avoid duplication). Cudos' to a propriatary software vendor that has a very profesional presentation on curiki of how to use there software. As the web page as a document formate could be a usfull tool if a resouce to link, agregate, combine abstacts were availabe. Business projects, production line scheduling, resouce distribution can be effectivly managed by a tree stucture of linked web pages each contributing a neccessary input to a total project goal. Forms can be downloaded in a java script formate for any number of fuctional utillities embeded into the web page, such as tax preparation, business contacts, T account record keeping for balance sheets, the list is limmited only by ones imagination. These educational web pages could be filtered by educational institutions for use as suplemental or alternitives to costly books and materials.- Thank You
