Plexlearning Placed-based Development
The Education for Development and Support Network (EDSN) is a Plexlearning association of place-based Research-to-Practice collaborators dedicated to advancing meaningful and sustainable quality of life through experiential learning and community engagement.
PlexLearning empowers groups of individuals to co-learn and act collaboratively with other autonomous technological agents in perceiving (interpreting) and responding to life’s opportunities and challenges. Extending beyond schooling to education, it affirms place-based innovation, socioeconomic empowerment, reflective inquiry, and sustainable neighborhood development through purposeful, continuous learning.
Welcome to Life with EDSN
Be purposefully mindful and curiously engaged.
Live peacefully and respectfully in cohabiting the Earth with your neighbors ...
Co-learning, co-living, and co-creating with Gaia -- Earth, currently the only known inhabitable planet.
EDSN AI Experiential and Innovation Driven Programs
EDSN develops AI-powered experiential programs designed to remove barriers and fill gaps in building sustainable socioeconomic bridges that lead to desirable careers and thriving neighborhood communities.
Our Plexlearning programs foster Open access, experiential learning ecosystems that seamlessly integrate formal education, informal learning, entrepreneurship, workforce development, career management, and lifestyle-vocations.
In a rapidly changing world, EDSN initiatives empower groups of individuals to innovate through experiential education, economic, financial education, and workforce-pipeline. These programs emphasize innovation through cost-sharing, capacity building, entrepreneurship, career management, scaffolding frameworks, self-evaluations, and peer reviews.
By combining the strengths of human and technological collaboration, EDSN’s programs create communities of continuous learning that offer individuals greater opportunities to achieve sustainable, high-quality lifestyle than would be possible alone.
