The discussion on open accreditation continues, with the two major models clearly articulated and defined. And be sure also to look at Antonio Fini, the 'poster recipient' of one of David Wiley's 'home made diplomas', who writes, "It seems the problem is in that somehow 'unauthorized certificate. They say 'how orrible! People are using informal learning for credit in formal learning paths!!... if the problem is the certificate, I can well give up to it! Because, and this is the point, the real value of that open courses (and other ones, such as the current CCK08, to which I'm participating without any form of accreditation) is NOT the certificate!" These two via David Wiley.
See also Stephen Carson, who has "been thinking of these negotiations or interfaces as EPI's - Educational Program Interfaces - the APIs of open education." Interesting concept. Again - since he begins with a credit roll (D'Arcy Norman and David Wiley) - let's try not to ascribe individual 'invention' of this concept to anyone. We've all been working on it. It's a community thing, not a pioneering initiative spearheaded by one person or agency. OK? Graham Attwell, meanwhile, points to a Times article on innovative assessment.
