Competency-based Adult Education in the Cloud Age

Technology Colleagues,

I have a new short blog post on competency-based adult education in the Digital and Cloud Age. In it I briefly describe the underpinnings of comptency-based education and suggest that what was a good, if sometimes impractical, idea for teachers in the 1960s -- 1980s, with digital and cloud technologies may now be more useful and should be re-examined.

You can read the blog article at:

What do you think the potential is for competency-based education now that many adult education teachers and learners have access to the web?

What do you see as opportunities that are being explored or should be?
