Despite all the questions about whether college is worth it or not, college graduates have gotten through through the recession and lackluster recovery with remarkable resilience. Via Alberto Acereda, PhD
Donna Murdoch's insight:
I know the alternatives, I know it is not what we are supposed to say now. But this, despite other options, is what I personally believe will continue to be true in the future.....at least the future that we and even our children will have. Delete the scoop?

20 differences between training & development: 6. Training is transactional – Development is transformational http://t.co/vcn5rSxa Via Susan Bainbridge 
Deb Nystrom, REVELN Consulting's curator insight,
December 26, 2012 1:59 PM
How does real leadership development happen? Through development. The authors 20 item list point out main differences between training and development. Training is convenient and can reach many people, but only development make the grade in agiiity for adapting to change. This article also reminds me of the limitations of ADDIE, a training design approach still used in many companies. By the time leadership training gets there (after design), there isn't there anymore. ~ D Delete the scoop?

Higher education is based largely on the assumption that students want degrees, and therefore they want the courses that are required to earn those degrees. And that assumption has been valid. Degrees have been a “ticket” that offered the possibility of admission to a desirable career (if it wasn’t sold out).
But as more and more people sought and received degrees, the increasing number of tickets available decreased the probability that the ticket would guarantee admission. And, as more and more institutions were printing tickets based on their own criteria, it became more and more difficult for the gatekeepers to know which ticketholders should be admitted. Many of the applicants already possess what appears to be a valid ticket, and the tickets carry very little information: Name of institution/Name of degree. That’s it.
In the next few years, I predict we’ll see more and more adult students interested in accumulating digital badges, as opposed to wanting course credits or degrees. Digital badges are more modular, they do a much better job of describing what the badge holder can do, and they can be assembled in ways that highlight how an individual stands out from the crowd. They can illustrate how he or she has the core qualifications required for consideration, and also has a series of related skills, perspectives, and attributes that add up to competitive advantage. And the quality of each badge can be interrogated with a single click of the mouse. Via DML Competition Delete the scoop?

By Kent LEWIS
There are a host of issues created by meaningless metrics, which include but are not limited to: wasting time, wasting money, and making bad decisions based on inaccurate, incomplete, or incomprehensible data.
More depressing than being easily gamed by humans is the fact that Klout scores have been vulnerable to manipulation by robots and related tools. As such, it's dangerous when companies use it to make decisions, from hiring to assessing the "influence" of fans and rewarding (or ignoring) them accordingly.
The fix: Take Klout with grain of salt and a shot of tequila. To get the most value from Klout, focus on trending your score and benchmarking against competitors.
