Does it feel like the world’s changing faster and faster?
In the last 150 years, we’ve…
☑️ invented the light bulb, telephone, computer, car and air travel
☑️ ventured into space and landed on the moon
☑️ had our lives transformed by the internet, smartphones, social media, and now perhaps Artificial Intelligence…
In that time, how much has the school curriculum changed?
Shouldn’t education be keeping up with these enormous changes?
It’s not like we lack the resources… The internet is home to more knowledge than we could ever need. So how come we aren’t all smarter than ever before? 🧠
Part of the problem:
Trying to learn a skill online can feel like this...
What if it were more like this?
We’re on a mission to revolutionise online learning.
We don’t have all the answers (yet!) → so we’d love to know what YOU think.
We thought it made sense to open our project with a conversation. By asking one simple question that pretty much everyone has an opinion about, and that is…
What do you wish you’d learned at school?
If you’ve already told us, then thanks! Your answer will help inform the direction we take this site and the content we publish.
And if you haven’t, we’d really appreciate you completing our quick survey. It takes just 60 seconds…
Only the beginning…
“Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.” –Sir Ken Robinson
Who are we?
Andy Rice & Bene Donovan
Andy & Bene are a father-son powerteam who built a popular online program for teaching people how to become stronger sailors (not the most obvious skill to learn on the internet).
Along the way, we learned a few things about learning itself…
- How to teach a hands-on skill online
- How to structure course content to lead learners down a step-by-step pathway
- How to create actionable material (that got our members real results)
- How to streamline and remove options to prevent analysis paralysis
For a long time we’ve built stuff online, in search of a better way of doing things.
During Andy’s career as a journalist, he’s witnessed how we’ve gone from not enough information – needing to scour the local library to find a decent source – to WAY too much. The internet is the biggest library of knowledge that humankind’s ever built… How to filter out all the crap to find the stuff we really need?
Bene is a self-taught copywriter who learnt all his skillz through the internet. He’s always had a fascination with how we can use the internet to improve how we learn – to make it quicker, easier and more fun.
With WIWILAS, we’re exploring all the ways education can be improved - and how we can all make a real difference.
