Course Credits as a Reward for Collaboration | ZDNet
Summary
In the current economic climate further education seems likely to take a pounding given the huge personal expense and often substantial debt involved, so I was interested to see a new business from for-profit online tutoring company Smarthinking. The old employee orientation training days are replaced with rapid accommodation, assimilation and acceleration of new team members. Ideally the employer wants to see their new employee go from 0-60 in a blaze of traction and acceleration, demonstrating business value virtually immediately. These systems aim to develop human capital - train you to be a more valuable employee - but increasingly we are a Free Agent Nation in this economy, whether we like it or not. The 1930s saw an increase in distance learning as people sought competitive advantage through obtaining mail order qualifications (then as now saw value judgements about quality of education and accreditation validity).
