  Fine piece, transformative. "were students given the opportunity to attempt the assessment, without the requirement that they sit through lectures or otherwise proprietary forms of learning, then they would create their own learning resources."

  community education future identity

  • Most of the latter part of this post consists of speculation, based on models we have already seen implemented on the web.
  • In still other cases, organizations - such as universities, professional associations, governments and companies - may grant specific credentials. In such cases, the person may put forward their portfolios and profiles for consideration for the credential.
  • 3 more annotations...
  • • Through some combination of inputs, from a more or less define community, a person may achieve a composite score called a 'reputation'.
    • Eventually, over time, a person will accumulate a 'profile' (much as described in 'Resource Profiles').
    • What we can expect in an open system of assessment is that achievement will be in some way 'recognized' by a community. This removes assessment from the hands of 'experts' who continue to 'measure' achievement. And it places assessment into the hands of the wider community. Individuals will be accorded credentials as they are recognized, by the community, to deserve them.
      
      How does this happen? It beaks down into two parts:
      
      - first, a mechanism whereby a person's accomplishments may be displayed and observed.
      
      - second, a mechanism which constitutes the actual recognition of those accomplishments.
