Happy New Year! As we rest this winter and build up momentum for 2011, it's a great time to learn.

check out the ever-changing Experimental College's website:
for a long list of all the diverse community-based offerings coming up in spring. I'm planning further discussion groups in the Ex.Co. format, and an educational retreat to Wisconsin concerning sustainable design! More info. soon!
In summer, students of life and facilitators of free knowledge gathered for an Ex.Co. party in Powderhorn Park. It was a great time had by all, full of music and cross-cultural meetings, and now we finally have a video to show you what it was like:

Please see the above hip, fun video to get an overview of Ex.Co. enthusiasm and class summary presentations-- among them was my skit about requesting files from the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act, exemplifying the class content of last spring's IndyMedia classes which I co-taught.
For a more in-depth explanation of Ex.Co, take a listen to co-founder David Boehnke's talk here:

Reminiscent of the TED Talks, this brief presentation shares the revolutionary dynamic tenet of Ex.Co. with the Solutions Conference Volume 3:
"Anyone can take or teach a class, & all classes are free."
