How do you compete with universityies? Robert Cosgrave writes, "If I wanted to put Universities out of business, I'd find a faster, cheaper way of filtering candidates for employment. Some way of tracking and assessing the true value of what a potential candidate has done and matching it to closely to potential employee needs." There are different ways of doing this. He suggests, "personality and aptitude test results [and] more domain specific education at a much more granular level than a monolithic degree... If we can unzip genomes and read from them useful information, surely we can unzip peoples life experience and map it to the right jobs and careers." And perhaps such data would be the common ground for education theory I've been wondering about this week. Food for thought.
