Suggestion on Exploring topics

Hi,

Just a thought that croseed my mind - how about exploring the acceptance of Open Governance and Peer to Peer learning in society and the value it has.

Like for example, if i get a degree from traditional university, it is accpeted by companies to provide jobs.

Thanks and Regards,
Adil

Hi Adil,
it was great to meeting you. Yes, you can do that, although it looks like quite a broad topic to tackle in the short time span of this course. Have you found readings that you can use?

Adil,

suddenly I remember this thread in the P2PU mailing list. Please have a look: http://groups.google.com/group/p2pu-new-courses/browse_thread/thread/fe7...

I think that you may want to consider how assessment is done in open governance and peer-based learning, and the acceptance of such assessment modes in society.

This ties up well with your example: you earn a degree from a traditional university because you have met certain standards, you have fulfilled all the requirements according to established criteria of evaluation. Society, implicitly accepts these criteria and standards, so they appreciate your degree and employ you for a job.

How does assessment work when open governance is in place?

this is one possible way to tackle the topic, I think!
