What is Alekese?

Alekese is a tool that helps groups of people with common interests share links to great free tutorials.

Using our one-of-a-kind sorting system, you can quickly figure out which skills you need to learn and where to learn them. Because Alekese automatically keeps track of everything you've learned in the lesson plans, it's easy to focus on learning the important stuff first.

Best of all, Alekese content areas can grow quickly using tiny contributions from all of our users thanks to our new, easy-to-use Graphical Tree Editor!

Why is Alekese Different?

The problem with other educational websites is that they copy too much from traditional institutions and miss the advantage having a ridiculously cheap way to copy data and share it with anyone on the planet. They just don’t get it.

At Alekese, we do get it. We’ll never corral you into a “virtual classroom” with a dozen students vying for the attention of a single teacher who’s delivering the same lesson she’s given to hundreds of students before. It’s a waste of technology. No, we help you find the very best in recorded lessons for anything that can be learned through one-way communication, and we’ll help you find one-on-one help for anything that can’t!

Commitment to Decentralized Education

Distribution systems for knowledge are a tempting target for monopolies.

In ancient Athens, in the 8th-10th century Muslim world, and in the 18th century Western Enlightenment, education was decentralized. People were well-educated, and they made critical contributions to human culture.

Then education became institutionalized and centrally regulated, and quality suffered. It became monopolized. The first two of these civilizations declined rapidly—and one could argue that the third is declining.

We at Alekese believe that monopolistic control of education is the greatest threat to free people. We are committed to developing technologies that disrupt educational monopolies and provide people with compelling, viable alternatives.
