With its proven benefits in the field of corporate and governance across the world, it is time for us to witness an Internet revolution in the field of education as well.

With formal education comprising only a small fraction of student's life, achieving major gains in learning requires that students' constantly lead a educationally fulfilling life. This necessitates close cooperation and shared responsibility for distributed learning among society's educational agents (families, social service agencies, workplaces, mass media).
Iken allows students to connect with peers from school and all over. It also allows greater interactivity among parents, teachers and professionals in distant places, cultures and traditions. Study circles can be formed sitting at home; collaborative projects across geographies are no longer an impossibility.
