Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Interesting statement about the central role of Canadian universities. "We should demonstrate community and social results, providing students with stepping stones for next steps, whether grad or professional schools, community engagement, employability, or research/knowledge – tracking, measuring, evaluating, and communicating this to our publics. This is our story: we recruit, teach, and train young talent; we produce knowledge; we create opportunities and benefit the community; we are the site for major public discussions." All this, an a funnel too. I'm sure he meant well, but the message still comes across as: "We are your judges, listen to us."
