I would like to share this link with my group here.
I found this a perfect example of How you can learn what you want to learn,stay connected and be supported by people of similar interests, enjoy doing what you like to do.
You also have lot of avenues for building a participatory and sustaining community.
This is possible due to the combination of self directed and net directed learning and easy accessibility of courses on line.
