DeakinConnect is a new purpose-built platform that enables the University to innovate in assessment. Rather than try to test and measure student success, the course prompts learners to create and share rich evidence of their attainment of learning outcomes. Learners can provide feedback on each other's work and award peer credit using digital badging. Via Learning Environments

DEAKIN University is offering assessment and credit for a fee as part of its first step into so-called massive open online courses launched yesterday.
The free online course is open to anyone but doesn't offer any credit. However for $495, Deakin will assess a student's work and, subject to the student completing a separate research paper and passing an interview, they will be able to earn credit towards a Deakin postgraduate qualification in international and community development. Deakin has at this stage limited the fee and assessment option to a maximum of 100 students.

My childhood was influenced in some measure by two great icons that no longer exist. The first was Kodak – I adored my Box Brownie and I still have the wonderful grainy black and white pics.
MOOCs, and all their iterations, are an opportunity to re-imagine how we can deliver excellent learning outcomes in new, more accessible and engaging ways, fit for 21st century learners and graduates.
We know our higher education system, due to regulatory and financial pressures, is straining at its seams. But these new technologies and everything associated with open source prompts us to think differently about how and what we do.
Its affects are unknown but if universities are allowed to innovate they may well turn out to be good for staff, good for students and hopefully, good for institutions too.
