  • ...13 more annotations...
  • if credits were to someday be awarded for these courses — or if significant numbers of employers were to start accepting these badges as a means into the workforce — higher education could be quickly and significantly altered
  • the tipping point has arrived where the university must seriously examine its current enterprise and rethink what kind of educational experience it wants to offer in the decades to come
