How do we make education more modular? The hope being that a free and open source self-directed system could be suitable (and thus) compassionate/kind to beginners of all kinds and at different skill levels. That it allows many entry and exit points, sort of like a branching of interconnected plateaus and islands. Stepping stones from everywhere to everywhere. Rhizomatic. Cross-connected topics with illustrated and detailed guides.
It would be beautiful if it, as well as recording your progress, if the system would also enable you to contribute back to the curriculum, allowing you to create a better suited lesson (an alternative) for the next learner, who now has a choice of two lessons, one new lesson complementing the original lesson. Or it could add a step that was missing. I think some distributed application framework like holochain or DAT would be perfect to build this on.
The closest I've seen a modular education system is Ryan Carson's TreeHouse, where there are 'tracks', topics and courses - which are all made up of modular components that are available and reorganized based on the learner's interests/wants/goals.
