From UNESCO Study 11 to FutureLearn: OU, Project CYCLOPS, & the 40-Year Plan to Globalize 4IR EdTech
Channel: School World Order
Date: 12/01/2024

This video expands on the research in my book, School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education, and my Unlimited Hangout article, "From UNESCO Study 11 to UNESCO 2050: Project BEST and the Forty-Year Plan to Reimagine Education for the Fourth Industrial Revolution [4IR]." 

In this video, I document how the United Kingdom's Open University (OU), which was endorsed in several UNESCO Study 11 whitepapers, was instrumental in developing a prototypical education technology known as CYCLOPS during the early 1980s. I detail how CYCLOPS ed-tech, which was programmed to track and log student-learning data, was a prototypical video-conferencing system transmitted through a prototypical dial-up internet network known as PRESTEL. In brief, I historicize how CYCLOPS ed-tech, with the help of the OU, laid the groundwork for the global online-learning panopticon that is now being accelerated by the 4IR ed-tech initiatives of the Great Reset, which is being driven by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

I also document how the OU spawned FutureLearn, which is a global online-learning platform that digitally data-mines students' psychometrics in order to "personalize" predictive learning analytics. Furthermore, I examine how FutureLearn is currently advancing transhumanist ed-tech through virtual-reality (VR) wearables, and I also examine how FutureLearn is advancing Social Credit cybernetics through partnerships with social impact financing corporations. 

Moreover, I document how FutureLearn and the OU are UNESCO partners that are managed by WEF members, including Michael Barber, who serves on the FutureLearn Advisory Board; and Baroness Martha Lane-Fox of Soho, who is the Chancellor of the OU and a Young Global Leader of the WEF.
