after 37 years, where I was a pioneer in putting distance learning on-line, with an emphasis on collaborative learning and on-line support communities.

I’m the author of eGaia, Growing a peaceful sustainable Earth through communications. I developed the positive vision of a sustainable future described in it over many years, as you can see from my papers and talks.

I’ve been working to implement these visions through a range of community projects to ‘re-invent community’ to create a ‘connected community’ that is sustainable and in which people work for mutual benefit. As many such local communities develop and are linked regionally, nationally and globally they will form ‘Earth Connected’, an organism-like global culture.
