The goals of the course are (1) to give you a firm grounding in the current state of the field of open education, including related topics like copyright, licensing, and sustainability, (2) to help you locate open education in the context of mainstream instructional technologies like learning objects, and (3) to get you thinking, writing, and dialoguing creatively and critically about current practices and possible alternative practices in open education

Think about the basic priority actions that might be taken by a new Department of Education that would promote shifts in Education that are relevant to today´s students and their future.

"Competency" is the watchword. So often we simply ask for people to have basic competency in their job, not excellence even, just competency!  Yet the education system isn't based on a competency model.  Instead, it's based on credit hours: how many hours a student sits in a class. This model persists like an old t-shirt we hate to give away because of all the good times we've had in it.  But it's time to move on; it's time to introduce the competency model as an equal partner in the educational system.

Michael, Thanks for letting your readers know about our program. I am the advisor for the E--Learning and Online Teaching Graduate Certificate program. I also wrote and teach two of our 5 classes, E-Learning for Educators and the E-Learning Practicum. Our graduate classes are offered by the University of Wisconsin Stout, School of Education.

Our goal is to help people become experienced professional online teachers as a way to expand and grow their careers. To accommodate everyone's interests we have our materials highly differentiated. K-12 teachers have the option of investigating the great resources from iNacol. They are encouraged to build useful quizzes and surveys and to craft discussion prompts as they practice facilitation skills. The topics for all projects are learner selected. We emphasize a practical hands on approach where participants can use what they learn and make right away. The great thing is to see a strong community of practice develop between all kinds of educators. Everyone is richer for it. When it comes to the E-Learning Practicum, I customize each student's experience. I have managed some placements with K-12 Virtual Schools. More often, K-12 teachers take one of two options. Both involve teaching with one of our cooperating

The emerging trends of technology tools and e-learning practices have an intense influence over the educational system in the USA. During this time of revolutionary approach towards designing and delivering courses and programs, many new opportunities, challenges, and complications have become apparent. Online education does provide efficient and timely access to learning materials, but today's educational technologies are merely vehicles that deliver instructions without influencing students' achievements.

USA offers competency-based education and scholarship opportunities for higher education that are immensely attractive for international students. This country has some of the best universities in the world, and its educational system offers more freedom for creative expression, experimenting in different fields of study and a great choice of extracurricular activities.
