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.

The ingredients of a successful resume Summary include: A short statement describing your profession Follow that with a statement about your expertise Then add two or three statements that address: -  Your unique combination of skills -  The depth or breadth of your skills -  The range of experience you have, and in what environments -  A well-documented or special achievement -  A history of promotions, commendations, or performance awards One or more professional characteristics A statement about a professional objective of yours

What does an "open badge ecosystem look like -- and how can it benefit you? Any BADGE ISSUER (for example, an after-school programs, free online course, or vocational institute) can award certified BADGES to learners like you. Learns can then collect and manage their badges in a BADGE BACKPACK. This makes it easy to display your skills and achievements across a range of different DISPLAY SITES -- from your personal resume or web site, to social networking profiles, to employment sites. The result? Jobs, new learning opportunities and unlocked privileges.

Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) is a popular strategy that can checkpoint learning and help learners improve their decision-making skills. In this article, I outline a 5-step plan you can use to create a captivating scenario-based corporate training.

Once you are clear about your personal brand, here are three steps to enhance your online reputation: Step 1. Understand your digital brand. You can use tools like Google, Truveo and Addictomatic, and online ID Calculator, to understand how you measure up in the four dimensions of online branding. Step 2. Determine which of the four measures - volume, relevance, diversity or purity - needs the greatest attention (you may have a couple that could use some work). Step 3. Depending on which areas need the most attention, apply the tips below: Volume enhancers: If you need more results that are about you, set up social networking profiles on many sites by editing your current branded bio and establishing accounts at naymz, ziki, ziggs and other sites. Relevance enhancers: To enhance relevance, where possible, remove content that is unflattering or inconsistent with how you want to be known, write an article about your area of expertise and post it to an appropriate online portal. Find blogs related to your area of thought-leadership, subscribe and comment when you have something valuable to contribute. Review books related to your area of expertise at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Publish relevant white papers to SCRIBD.com. To learn how to turn one real-world communications activity into a year's worth of online content. Purity enhancers: Sign up for an account at Vizibility. The service allows you to identify the Google results that are about you and create a "Search Me" button that you can include in your e-mail signature, your LinkedIn profile, on your blog, etc. Diversity enhancers: Sign up for a Flickr account and post relevant images. If you don't already have one, set up your Google profile. Soon, you should be on your way to the volume, relevance, purity and diversity that will improve your ability to get a job.

Industry oriented education is an approach to learning from an industry perspective. With traditional technical teaching methodologies in educational environments, the conventional pathway is to build the foundation learning through subject based teaching of maths, physics and science independently. Subjects based on the knowledge required for the discipline usually follow on from this. The problem with this traditional methodology of learning is that there is no close relationship with industry requirements.

Twitter is being used more and more for the dissemination of news and information by businesses, schools and the media. Even Governments and politicians around the world are using Twitter to share information. Job postings on Twitter continue to increase because of Twitter's huge popularity and also because it is free to post jobs via twitter. Here are a few tips to help you get started: 1. Follow key Twitter accounts related to your job search. By following businesses, recruiters, and schools on Twitter, you have the potential to be one of the first to hear about a job opportunity or internship and network instantly with the correct contact, which might just give you the advantage you need. 2. Use Twitter Search You can use Twitter Search to get an aggregated list of the most recent postings and also to see what people are saying about a particular company or topic. For instance, you might want to search twitter using the keywords "best government jobs" and see what other Tweeters have to say. For a more focused list of tweets you might try searching twitter using tags like #governmentjobs, #defensejobs or #internship. 3. Network with the contacts you are following. Once you are following the companies or individuals related to your job search, reach out and connect with them. If they follow you back on Twitter you can send them a brief introduction via direct message or watch their tweets and reply back with either a quick introduction or comment about their tweet. 4. Send out a Tweet about your job search. The Twitter community is filled with awesome people willing to help out whenever they can. If you are looking for an internship you might send out a tweet like this "College sophmore seeking legal internship for summer 09 please RT #internship". Even if you only have one or two people RT (ReTweet) your message, you still increase the chances someone might respond with either a lead or person for you to contact. RT other's messages and often
