Forget iTunes U: Students Now Getting College Credit via YouTube - ReadWriteWeb

A computer science professor at an Australian University is doing something revolutionary with YouTube - he's offering students who can't attend his classes college credit for watching his videos.

The New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce

This study focused on the flows of the international economy as they affect the prospects for economic growth in this country, with particular attention to the effects on employment and income of advancing technology and the rise of countries that can offer high skills at low wages. The study addressed eight areas, in the following sequence:

• Estimated the contributions of education and innovation (such as patents, R&D spending) to U.S. and global economic growth

• Analyzed the relationship between education and access to middle-class status since 1967 and projected to 2012

• Projected the supply and demand for education in the United States to 2012

• Analyzed the relationship between educational attainment and occupational competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities, work styles, work contexts, values, and interests) based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*Net) data

• Measured educational adequacy against criteria that included employability and middle-class jobs

• Estimated the vulnerability of U.S. jobs to offshoring based on the characteristics of the jobs and the skills of current job holders, as reported in O*Net

• Estimated the stock and growth of the global supply of educated workers
