A lot of people thought it was the full learning experience. This is a great framework for a much needed way to facilitate training non traditional students. I like the focus on competency and job skills. The personal assistant and learning record will certainly become the next hot technologies in education. Its great to see that you are still ahead of everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-69091291612717411642013-12-10T10:21:10.482-05:002013-12-10T10:21:10.482-05:00CIBC World Markets Report.

I'm a Canadian working in Australia and I'm trying to put together a very similar system within a Healthcare organisation but with a wide reaching audience to include management, financial, administrative staff on top of healthcare. The idea isn't to spread it nationally but there is no reason the system I'm building couldn't look to extend beyond the organisation if someone had the time to lay out all the competencies as this is the bulk of the work. Aligning them with jobs and training programs is huge!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032506355173180907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-76876496196292397152013-12-08T17:01:14.920-05:002013-12-08T17:01:14.920-05:00Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of this w...Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of this whole design involves directing the "learning power" of the system toward the system itself.

It's one stage in the process. The value is that it shows the language that resulted in the approval. That's why it is written the way it is. I've written a lot about this work in the past and will offer much more - in more accessible language - in the future.

Perhaps this kind of language is suitable for writing the research and development proposal. But I am an insider and find myself turning off. Why not get a good copy writer to set all of this down in clear and accessible language to excite the millions of potential beneficiaries?
