A Vision to transform and democratise global education and change

The Oselux Vision is

To Live a Spirit-Led, Project-Based Life, Transforming and Democratising Global Education and Change, By Continually Up-skilling Global Citizens, Teams, Organizations, Countries, and Continents, Creating Innovative Products, Services, Digital Firms, Wealth, Jobs, Enhancing the Peace, Prosperity, Joy, and Happiness of Individuals and Countries, Especially Nigeria, Africa, and Developing Countries of the Global South, and Publishing the Ideas Through Multimedia Channels Across the Q-Helix.

We live this vision in creating arguably the world’s most innovative publishing system which puts equal emphasis on excellent Research, Integration of Knowledge, Applications, and Teaching – the RIAT spheres of the core higher education business.

For this purpose, we design all publications – superbooks, research monographs, newsletters, conference proceedings, and journal articles – to enable readers and learners to become more creative than possible with traditional publications. The publications are, therefore, informed by the steps in the Research Methods Canvas© below, originated to simultaneously make all academic subjects research and enterprise development units prepare prospective authors for this game-shifting endeavour.

The motivation for transforming and democratizing global education and training as in the above vision is to continually produce actionable knowledge that will gear up the GDP of nations through the skills bases of their citizens.

Superbooks are seminal textbooks and research monographs that almost say it all, by covering in-depth all elements of the Research Methods Canvas©. They are therefore deep in theory, practice, policy perspectives, and amply illustrated with real-life projects and case studies. They are developed in line with Oselux 5 Forces and 7Es Philosophy explored in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360550351 and a deeply innovative pedagogical system, consisting of circa twenty signature pedagogies, including accelerated learning principles, creative dialogue, and techniques used to drill elite sports stars and military personnel. Compared to five teaching formats in traditional education, this system is arguably the best in the world for training star creatives, innovators, and entrepreneurial minds who can achieve the Oselux Vision.

Uniqueness of our publishing

  • Extends three main criteria of originality and contributions to knowledge in traditional higher education and publishing to seven.
  • Uses the above canvas to produce and publish PhDTech theses which are deep in theory and practice and easy to spin off as related enterprises, usually digital firms.
  • The criteria are very difficult to game by simply adapting other authors’ works. This is because to successfully cover the criteria in the Ladder of Contributions to Knowledge in the canvas, an author must have painstakingly undertaken the underpinning research, and taken time to develop the paper with penetrating insights.
  • To enable the guiding Research Methods Canvas© to bring benefitting authors to the cutting-edge of academic and professional writing, prospective authors may benefit from related training we provide in meeting the publishing criteria.
