The old standbys never really disappear. The idea of a single credit standard has been around for as long as I have, which I regret to say, is a long time. The basis for the current proposal? "Imagine a system in which we allocate one Universal Study Point (USP) per 25 study hours. This system could help participating universities, learners and employers understand and reward all kinds of studies, regardless of educational institution." Yes, we'll base it all on perceived seat time. Or, maybe not.
