So what's CocoLoco?
When you're in Peru...or perhaps any under-developed country, the overwhelming lack of a decent education for the vast majority is wrenching to comprehend. So I got to thinking... there ARE a lot of people around both in and out of Peru who have expertise that they would be glad to share with that great majority which has suffered from a stunted, inadequate educational system, meaning the governing authority as well as its woebegone teachers.
So why not provide experts or very knowledge folks the opportunity to give others the benefit of that knowledge and simultaneously give students the benefit of that knowledge...for the good of all.
So how do you do that? CocoLoco will provide accessible, understandable software programs. One for the course Builders to use to create a course; the other, a program for the Learners to use to take the course. Then you create a way for real conversations to occur within the programs in a friendly non-academic way, the way you do in real life.
What 'way' is that? Well, for right now, I'll wait until the approach gets fully developed, but I thought I'd do a bit of blogging on the way. Since the great majority of us software users really are totally ignorant of how the wonderful, at times challenging, absorbing, and really fascinating experiences we have on the web are created, I thought as a total neophyte, I'd try to relay just a bit of what I'm gleaning about that software development world, as well as plumb the possibilities of gLearn itself. So, bear with me, here we go...
