By fusing steemit with self-directed learning communities, we can evolve our educational and economic systems to better align with our transition into the Age of Information.
We are no longer in the Industrial Age, yet many of our educational and economic practices remain the same. Schools use standardization practices to produce students as if they were products in a factory, so these students could fill factory jobs.
Today, automation has made many of these kinds of jobs obsolete, and businesses are now looking for different employees. They don't need factory workers any more- they need creative problem solvers, critical thinkers, and people who are able to collaborate and communicate with each other.
@colearning is an educational strategy that monetizes education, by connecting self directed students with a community of people who share similar interests, and organizing their learning on the steem blockchain.
Various "schools" will immerge as community learning accounts. These accounts will post self organizing learning posts, that encourage the community to write about a specific subject, and post a link to their article in the comments. From there, colearners are encouraged to interact with the community, thus deepening their learning, and increasing their earnings.
There are many more contests, fundraising projects, and community building features to this strategy, and will continue to evolve.
Right now, I'm still creating the overall strategy, and crafting posts to explain how this concept works. Although I'll use the @colearning account initially to cultivate an intelligent community who's interested in self care, earth care, and people care, I intend to shift that community to a different account, as more learning communities appear. Then, I'll use the @colearning account to connect learning communities together, and put out posts to help refine and evolve our strategy.
In terms of pay to play, my personal aim is to find investors that will either personally interact with these communities, or delegate their steem power to various colearing accounts.
After explaining the difference between the fractional reserve banking system, bitcoin, and the steemit economic system , I'll articulate how investing in steem (steem power) could be both profitable for investors, and empowering for students.
Although I want to use @colearning to deepen my learning and earnings on steemit, I want the account to benefit the community, using it's earnings to either power up, invest in shared resources, or to donate to charitable causes. Each post will designate where the funds will go.

Really???? I was just posing an idea! This is all original content, and directly relates to what you were talking about- the relationship between investors and creators, and different solutions to the bidbot problem.
Please help me understand why you consider this to be spam.

Downvoting someone who spent nearly an hour coming up with a comment isn’t something that benifits the platform.
I guess how I can see how my comment might look like spam, but if you actually read the comment you’d see that Im trying to address the pay to play topic you posted about. Maybe it’s not in the format you like, but that’s how I write.
I think your comment was ignorant and discouraging, and makes me want to shy away from Steemit.

it's not a matter of the format. It's the lack of focus on the topic of the post you are commenting on. You may have thoughts in your mind that makes you think you are commenting in a relevant manner but what you produced was a description and promotion of your own project with a passing reference to the issues presented here in an attempt to appear relevant .

Y’all are right. I’m an idiot.
Won’t happen again. Just got excited about the potential to share an idea. An explaination came easier through the comment section than a post, and I shared my thoughts in the wrong place. Ops.
People bring up problems, I reply with solutions. If my solutions are my own, then I guess that is self promotion.
I’m still bitter about all of this (which is probably irrational). But I see what you’re saying.

well you could be bitter... or you could flesh out in a more relevant manner how you made the connection and put that in a post.
I had a member of a group I was leading one time who used to come up with ideas and she never seemed to make sense. That was until the day I realized her idea was fully formed, just part of it stayed in her head. I talked to her about it and when she would do that I'd respond by asking her to share the part she left in her head.
The approach was by agreement with her so it didn't embarrass her, it just let her know, I was sort of getting the concept but everyone needed to get the whole message.

You were using my post to direct traffic toward your initiative. It was an advertisement, pure and simple. You are right: I don't see at all how it relates to the discussion at hand. It disrupts it and attempts to draw focus to your post and your blog. I have dropped links in comments before, but unless there's a clear correlation, I always ask permission first. It's just bad form, @scottiemac. Seems like you've been on the platform long enough to know this.
Ir really seems that comment should have been a post on your blog. Maybe use it as one? That way the time you spent isn't wasted.

You’re right. It should have been a post not a comment.
The reason it was a comment, originated from my initial idea of a responce.
“If the problem is that investors are here for crypto and not for content, and most active users are seeking quality content, then there needs to be a solution that enables investors to still make money, while at the same time promoting quality content.
I think investing in a bidbot seems like a shortsighted and selfish investment stratgy, when an investor could invest in steem, then delegate to a colearning account to make money, all the while encouraging students to learn about what fascinates them.
That way it’s not just about investing in extrinsic motives, it’s feeling good about the intrinsic benefits as well.”
... but since no body knows what colearning is, I felt like I would confuse people by mentioning it. Hence I had to explain what it is.
I’ve been working on how to explain this idea for weeks now, and was finally able to articulate it in my previous comment.
I was so excited, I didn’t think about wether it was the right place to say something. In my mind it was relevant. I simply forgot to connect the dots.
I apologize for the poor form.
