Break free from information chaos and disinformation with ‘Frameworks’
The digital information space is chaotic and overwhelming, driven by algorithms that commercialise attention and disrupt truth.
As ordinary people become overloaded and distracted, ‘Frameworks’ offers a solution — empowering you to think constructively and independently to make sense of a complex fragmented world and to communicate through simple, structured models.
How can we ensure that the next generation develops the ability to think effectively and to process key information independently?
‘Frameworks’ paves the way for future generations by imparting essential strategies, capabilities and skills in independent thinking, as well as in the modelling, visualisation, and communication of key information.

About the Author
Peter Ward, educator, anatomist and cognitive scientist, has dedicated over four decades to the exploration of how students, especially the less able, understand and retain key information.
His extensive interdisciplinary research and development in the 1990s – including with IBM and Sun Microsystems – pioneered the prototyping of visual information modelling tools and interactive hypermedia applications. These were distributed on a number of university campus networks involving a community of users including subject experts, teachers, learners and network administrators.
His mission has been to harness the potential of the computer with simple high-quality graphical interfaces featuring schemata and simple graphical models of thinking and understanding, and in the employment of ‘Frameworks’ to attract and engage teachers and learners for the construction of simple, high-level, graphical models in the representation of knowledge, understanding and thinking. Models with hyperlinking from the key elements encouraging browsing, facilitating the acquisition of key information with the aim of facilitating discovery learning and positive cognitive processes for all users.
