When It Comes to Mentoring, the More the Merrier | Vitae
- There are a few reasons why many colleges take such a flawed approach to mentoring. First, it’s invisible, time-intensive, and unrewarded labor.
- In a context of shrinking resources and greater expectations, it can quickly fall to the bottom of a busy professor’s priority list.

-
- Pearson, the publishing heavyweight that now calls itself “the world’s leading learning company,” announced on Thursday that it would follow Mozilla’s creation last year of an open standard for badges that recognize educational or professional achievement by offering a proprietary badge platform based on Mozilla’s standards.

MOOCs, Trust, and the Signature Track – #FutureEd - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education
- the trust is formed by the associations with big named professors or universities.
- Rather, MOOCs are trading in something that has already been institutionalized socially as extremely valuable: education from reputable institutions and professors.
- People want to give personally identifiable information to those types of institutions if it means they can get closer to the social capital they provide their students.

It's Time for a New Definition of Accreditation - Commentary - The Chronicle of Higher Education
- Quality assurance suggests a goal that can be evaluated and distinguished from comparable applications.
- Those in the academic world know full well that agreement on what constitutes quality in almost any discipline is virtually impossible
- The concept of accountability for performance is often viewed as a threat to academic freedom
- Do we have any idea left of what to expect of a person who holds an undergraduate degree?
- many challenges to both inputs and outputs of colleges and universities call into question the level of “quality” to which we aspire.
- Accreditation is not voluntary. It is not nongovernmental. It does not demonstrably provide definable quality assurance. It is overly keyed to an institution’s mission, making impossible some generic meaning of what a college or graduate is. And the underlying purpose—to maintain college independence through self-regulation and accountability—is seriously undermined, if not already at an end.
- Questions related to the core of campus life—educational process, the faculty, curricula, student services, and academic freedom—will receive short shrift by all sides. Lacking, above all, will be any consensus on what to do.
- The essence of a renewed definition of accreditation repudiates the academic myth of the separation of politics and education and openly acknowledges a constant tension between the political processes of government and the traditional academic belief in a (nonexistent) self-regulating academy.
- Change must come mainly from accreditation, finding ways to clarify its operations and heighten colleges’ accountability. The bottom line of defense remains concentrating on institutional autonomy, curriculum control, and academic freedom.

- The bigger change in the market might be the clear direction of mainline LMS providers towards becoming learning platforms that act as the hub of an ecosystem of learning applications.
- I do not believe that the LMS is a commodity – which LMS a school selects can make a real, long-term impact. I also believe that schools should not ignore the trajectory of the various providers.

Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education | Video on TED.com
"Education scientist Sugata Mitra tackles one of the greatest problems of education -- the best teachers and schools don't exist where they're needed most. In a series of real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could revolutionize how we think about teaching."
