At first I tried to convince people to think of time as a unit of information. That didn't work. More recently I have been urging people to abandon time altogether as a measurement of instruction. An hour of reading, say, for one person is very different from an hour of reading for another. Now this article proposes a replacement for time, the Capabilities-Based Educational Equivalency (CBEE) Units model. As the authors write, "While allowing time and location to vary across courses and degrees, the CBEE Units approach permits the valid and useful comparison of student achievement by holding student capabilities relatively constant."
