Philosophy:

1. Humans face very challenging problems, both individually and collectively. The most important of these problems concern preserving and improving the sustainability and quality of life on our planet Earth.
2. The intact human brain is naturally curious, is always involved in processing data, and is a lifelong learner. Each person knows how to learn and gets better at it through practice and through informal and formal education. Each person helps to teach him or her self and others. Thus, we are all lifelong learners and lifelong teachers.
3. The Information Age is bringing us powerful aids to learning and to communicating and processing information. It is also bringing us a very rapid increase in the totality of information that one might want to learn and use. We each face an information overload.

• Each person is a lifelong learner and lifelong teacher. Through informal and informal education, each person can get better at learning and in helping others to learn.
• The most important goals of education are to enable and empower learners and those who help people to learn.
• Education can be improved by helping learners to self-assess their progress as a learner and to take more responsibility for their own learning and how they use their increasing levels of expertise.
• Our informal and formal education systems should appropriately and adequately reflect the fact that ICT and other technologies are major change agents in our overall society and in our individual, everyday lives.
