We suggest that Universities historically are "approved" to give "licenses" i.e. certification that students have a certain level of knowledge
|
|
In the emerging Web based Virtual University, the traditional type and length of learening cycles is not obviously appropriate
|
|
Further we need to bootstrap WebWisdom and "suck customers in" a little bit at a time!
|
Thus suggest Scalable Certificates
-
Level 1: One day (6 hours)
-
Level 2: One Week (30 hours)
-
Level 3: One Semester/Quarter Course (120 hours)
-
Level 4: Minor/Certificate -- about 5 courses (600 hours)
-
Level 5: Masters degree -- about 12 courses (1400 hours)
|
|
Note these certificates are also portable as can take anywhere at any time!
|
Traditionally, University courses are 1/3 interaction and 2/3 study/homework
-
i.e. 120 hour course is 40 hours lectruring
