I suggest that we must not be hopeful that governments can find the solution (or afford it if they found one) and that we must look for the solution from within the daily circumstances of people who are suffering from the present worsening situation. Many people are trying to adjust in individual ways, even though welfare payments from governments are declining and impoverishment grows. Others (a minority) are trying, as already mentioned, to form new forms of communities in which they can improve their efforts by mutual exchange of services. If there is to be hope in both cases, I would suggest that they will need many more skills than they have at present. However, as government expenditure retrenches, education is going to become increasingly expensive. For cultural and financial reasons, an increasing number of people are going to be denied any chance of acquiring skills for paid-jobs (as they become increasingly specialised) and for more ordinary daily circumstances (eg carpentry, growing vegetables, saving energy, equipment maintenance, medical care, etc, etc). However, in the Internet we have the potential for a new instructional and informational technology that can offer almost any skill. Considering that the performance/price ratio of the PCs, modems, etc, has increased at least a million-fold in the last 15 years, then, in 15 years' time, the potential for a versatile and sophisticated instructional technology must be phenomenal - even to the poorest among us.

This paper details how a team at MIT identified and codified a set of goals for engineering education, which can serve as the basis for curricular improvement and outcome based assessment. The result of two years of scholarship, these goals are embodied in The CDIO Syllabus, A Statement of Goals for Undergraduate Engineering Education. The specific CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) Syllabus objective is to create rational, complete, universal and generalizable goals for undergraduate engineering education. The Syllabus focuses on personal, interpersonal and system building skills, and leaves a placeholder for the disciplinary fundamentals appropriate for any specific field of engineering. It complements and significantly expands on ABET's criteria. The process of adapting the Syllabus to a degree program includes a survey step to determine the desired level of proficiency in the designated skills that is, by consensus, expected of program's graduates. With rationale, detail and broad applicability, the CDIO Syllabus' principal value is that it can be generalized to serve as a model from which any university's engineering programs may derive specific learning outcomes.

AbstractsAmong statements about educational goals found in the engineering literature, two - the CDIO Syllabus and the Taxonomy of Engineering Competencies - stand out in regard to range and level of detail.  The two statements have been formulated independently and each presents a different perspective on the goals of engineering education.  This paper takes advantage of the unique opportunity afforded by having two well-worked but different perspectives on the goals of engineering education.  A comparison of the two statements reveals their respective strengths and weaknesses, provides mutual endorsement of their comprehensiveness and quality, and gives deeper insight into the dynamics and difficulties associated with the formulation of statements about the goals of engineering education.  In addition, it develops a rationale for the formulation of a universal document on the goals of engineering education, discusses the merits and limitations of such a document and makes some recommendations about how it might be compiled

Performance Support Series: Featuring Prezi animations in our Learning framework to supplement online training. In this article, I will share a case study on how we have used Prezi (a presentation tool) to create an innovative learning aid. Shortly, this will be a part of our upcoming Performance Support Solutions.

Join us for the free webinar How To Enhance Your Corporate Training With Next Gen Gamification Solutions, presented by Asha Pandey, the Chief Learning Strategist at EI Design, and sponsored by eLearning Industry. The event is scheduled for the 7th of March 2019. Stay tuned!

Stuck in inflexible pages, much of today's learning material remains trapped in traditional formal vehicles like eLearning courses or presentations. As a result, learning content - and the time and effort that goes into it -is often poorly leveraged. But it doesn't have to be that way.
