Edtech Startup To Release Blockchain-Based ‘Lifelong Learning Ledger’ | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

From www.forbes.com - July 24, 2018 3:24 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

Brandman University is taking a new approach to adult education, focusing on students' competencies so that they can apply their work experiences to speed their path to graduation.

Brandman already is working with companies, including Walmart and Discover, to offer employee-education programs. The Irvine, California-based nonprofit university's competency-based programs make it easier for working adults to earn college degrees and advance their careers.

At most conventional colleges, students must fulfill prerequisite courses to earn admission and a set of required courses to earn a degree. Under the Brandman approach, if an applicant has, say, a 20-year career in finance but no formal coursework in finance, the university's “adaptive learning engine” can detect her prior knowledge and tailor the curriculum to ensure that she focuses on new material. Brandman's first graduate completed a bachelor's of business administration degree in 18 months.

The technology that makes the Brandman model possible includes a cloud software platform developed by edtech startup N2N Services. On the platform, the university developed a game-based learning application that offers students a series of tests to demonstrate their competency. As students pass each test, they’re automatically moved to the next level of the program.

Are the Directors on-Board the Cyber Security Train? | eLeadership | eSkills | Digital CitiZEN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

From www.informationsecuritybuzz.com - June 8, 2015 8:01 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Cyber security is no longer the sole responsibility of the technical people, or even the CIO.

Following the Target breach (where immense pressure was placed to replace most of the board members after the breach), and board members of Target and Wyndham Worldwide (hotel chain) face derivative lawsuit related to the data breaches. Recent survey reveal that nearly half (45%) of senior management acknowledge that the C-suite and senior leadership themselves are responsible for protecting their companies against cyber-attacks, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently published a paper on the Role of the Boards of Directors in Overseeing Cyber-Risk Management, where it recommends:

Cyber-risk must be considered as part of the board’s overall risk oversight: “boards that choose to ignore, or minimize, the importance of cyber security oversight responsibility, do so at their own peril.”

Boards should assess the corporation’s cyber security measures including corporate policies and annual budgets for privacy and IT security programs. And perhaps, more critically, highlights the significance of cyber-risk education for directors, ensuring that the board be at least adequately represented by members with a good understanding of information technology issues that pose risks to the company.

A New Kind of Classroom: No Grades, No Failing, No Hurry | #ModernEDU #Coaching | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

From www.nytimes.com - August 11, 2017 11:44 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

Mastery-based learning, also known as proficiency-based or competency-based learning, is taking hold across the country. Vermont and Maine have passed laws requiring school districts to phase in the system.

New Hampshire is adopting it, too, and piloting a statewide method of assessment that would replace most standardized tests. Ten school districts in Illinois, including Chicago’s, are testing the approach. In 2015, the Idaho State Legislature approved 19 incubator programs to explore the practice.
