P2PU project on open accreditation and assessment
June 4th, 2010 at 1:37Many of you already know that P2PU and Mozilla have teamed up to develop pathways to competency in open web skills, or web craft. The idea is that many potential participants in P2PU are seeking to do more than simply satisfy random or hobby urges – in many cases, they are seeking bona fide courses of study for development of competency in areas of possible employment or other tangible uses. The initial focus is on open web skills, or web craft. Several of us are hashing through these ideas and seeking engagement and feedback from the broader P2PU and Mozilla communities.
In that vein, this blog will be a forum for me (Ahrash Bissell, project lead on open accreditation for P2PU/Mozilla) to share my musings, post questions and entreaties, and otherwise just keep people up to date. I expect I will be blogging about authentic assessment, open accreditation, effective pedagogical models, peer learning, digital media and learning… well, blogging about a whole mess stuff related to Peer to Peer University, open education, and assessment/accreditation.
Much of the work on this project will be taking place on the P2PU section of the Mozilla wiki.
Feel free to get in touch!
