There are many uses for a program link this. The GNU license allows the coding of this software to be completed publicly and provides the greatest method to link the work of people with different ideas. This software can provide educational resources to those less fortunate, while conforming to basically any schedule. It is not intended to replace teachers, but to allow educators to link homework with classwork more seamlessly. It has a place in such projects as the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) initiative because it shall be made to be scaled down to a device that could easily be brought to class. The initial focus will be on higher education, because as of now there is little parity of education among colleges. That is not necessarily a bad thing, because it provides different view point towards an issue. The problem stems from educators that are less then qualified to teach their courses and as such follow the text book to the tee for lack of inovation. It is students in these classes that would benifit most from this new education system, because they would be able to learn through the combined intelligence of a group of qualified educators. This method has reciently been tested by MIT, where most lecture materials are publically and freely available to anyone through their website. This program would seek to expand on this idea by making the system more like Wikopedia, in that it would be a central place to gain knowledge and could link to sites that would expand on a topic.
