my name is Ralph Mercer.

Bio
I'm a retired Canadian Service Member, now living in Monte di Procida, Italy.

I am a life long open lerner and intellectual wellness specialist who advocates of a “new way of knowing" for professional development using technology to fundamentally change how we understand and practice the concept of self improvement.

I retired from the military as a leading visionary in professional military education after a successful 36 year career. In 2014 I completed a Masters of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and i have embarked upon a journey to explore the future of intellectual wellness through a series of essays. My interests include, open learning, quantifying personal learning networks, digital data rights, education as a peace and security enabler, and technology augmented learning environments.

My current project is to explore the future of self assembled learning by developing an open learning plan that will mirror a doctorate program.
