Measuring the Wrong Things — Has the Scientific Method Been Compromised By Careerism?
Kent Anderson, The Scholarly Kitchen, December 15, 2011.

---

I think this is exactly right: "Perhaps we’re measuring the wrong things — number of publications, number of citations, impact factors of publication outlets — as a way of measuring a scientist’s productivity, which we then reward with money, either directly or indirectly. Perhaps we should measure how many results have been replicated. Without that, we are pursuing a cacophony of claims, not cultivating a world of harmonious truths." It is not, for example, how many publications I can get for developing the nature and form of the MOOC, nor the citations to my works, nor even whether I can raise research money for it. It's whether other people can use the model successfully. The papers and the money are an aid in doing this, a means to an end, not the end in iteself. [Comment]

This web from Standford states about MOOCs like #Change11:  "It raises the question: Whose certification matters, for what purposes?"  Stanford’s open courses raise questions about true value of elite education | Inside Higher Ed. Isn´t it the point? I think that we still need the existing education institutions to evaluate the students. To make the certification of their competencies. That could be a working buisnesplan for the educationinstitutions, which still needs funding to .... [Link] Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:48:48 +0000 [Comment]

Stanford's open courses raise questions about true value of elite education | Inside Higher Ed

Highlights and Sticky Notes:This made Stanford the latest of a handful of elite American universities to pull back the curtain on their vaunted courses, joining the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's OpenCourseWare project, Yale University's Open Yale Courses and the University of California at Berkeley's Webcast.Berkeley, among others. The difference with the Stanford experiment is that students are not only able to view the course materials and tune into recorded lectures .... [Link] Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:58:34 -0000 [Comment]

How Do We Prepare Students for a Real World that Doesn’t Yet Exist? #change11
Andrew Neuendorf, Andrew Neuendorf
I’ve previously written about my annoyance with the term “real world.” It really irks me like few things do. Perhaps I’m sensitive to being accused of not living there, despite the fact that each year I try to teach over 200 students how to write more effectively. Given that most work environments value good communication [...] [Link] Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:44:41 +0000 [Comment]
