26. 3 Examples from Higher Education
KENTUCKY TECHNICAL & COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM
Flex choices for students
Modules (1,2 and 3 weeks long) available 365
days a year
Modules carry partial credit (.10,.25, .33 etc.) and
learning is assessed via pre and post tests of
competency and capability
Leaners accumulate their partial credit till it = 3
and then have credit for a full and transferable
course
Adaptive assessments for and of learning,
modular assessment designs and e-portfolios
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN FLEX DEGREE
No courses, no tutors, no attendance at sessions.
Instead, clear rubrics
Each credit required comes with a playlist of
appropriate open education resources
Learners can “buy” mentoring and coaching services –
not required.
When the learner is ready, an integrated and
comprehensive assessment of knowledge,
competencies and capabilities is completed for credit.
All enabled by learning technologies, adaptive
assessment technologies and e-portfolios

27. LIFELONG LEARNING FOR FARMERS
Uses cell phones / voice mail to connect
farmers with farm intelligence, other farmers
and supply chain
Reorganize farmers from single-site farming to
co-operatives
Rethink the supply chain and flow of goods /
money
Change relationships with banking – e-money
Increase yields, livelihoods, animal / crop
health and community well being

28. Conclusion
Technology is not the
answer - vision, strategy,
focus and alignment are.
Real organizational change
and transformation is about
engaged employees owning
their future and leveraging
all of the available tools to
make the future happen
faster….
