Universal Education, education for all, is an unsolved problem

This problem is set out in:

Making universal education truly universal: Jamie Alexandre at TEDxUCSD

The Architecture of Universal Education is an unsolved problem

Mobile connections are approaching 8,000,000,000 according to GSMA Intelligence "gsmaintelligence.com" . Books, libraries, and an "education" can be distributed on microSD cards. More text and audio can be stored on such cards than video. As a medium, language may be powerful than video. Users can listen to audio files whilst doing work like housekeeping, domestic or farmwork. Universal Education ought to make audio files primary, video supplementary.

Mobile apps vs Desktop apps

Education innovators seem to commit the errors set out in "HTML5 for Dummies" and whitepapers. E.G. attached

Math on Mobile

Leonhard Euler dictated the greatest math book, The Elements of Algebra,

when blind, to an innumerate tailor. This indicates that the reverse is possible,

learning the Elements of Algebra from audio. However an accompanying text

is better, text plus visual better, and audio + text + visual + collaboration +

AI may be optimal. As a result of inquiries, it seems educators perceive computer assisted

learning as machine learning, they're 30 years behind, and machine learning is

coming to lucrative industries areas first. Like Wall $treet!

Machine Learning applied to Leonhard Euler?

This would be a closed domain of 25,000 pages, which current ML can handle effectively.

You'd be able to query this domain, in natural language, and obtain correct answers.

Null results from the Euler domain, could be referred to Wolfram's engines.

MALL Mobile Assisted Language Learning

This is very effective. Google "Dr. Jameel Ahmad"

and see his Youtube presentation. Developing

ideas on this wall, and ideas on

can optimize MALL.

GREAT BOOKS

In places like Pakistan, Afghanistan, rural India,

students who are doing physical work during the day,

could listen to books such as The Elements of Algebra.

After work they could review the diagrams and try

the examples, from a printout. Thus, I'd modify Jamie

Alexandre's "sneaker net" to include printed editions

or pdf of Great Books, even for math and science.

Modern aggregated textbooks are ok but Great Books

are more likely to create Great Minds.
