Alex Usher's style of writing is quite annoying when you disagree with him, but quite fun when he's more aligned with your point of view. Today's post falls into the latter category. Credit-hours and credits, he writes, "as currently designed are a flaming garbage heap of a concept and it would be great if we could re-design them from the ground up." They never made sense when I was a student and make even less sense today. Usher also recommends Robert Wagenaar's "excellent new short history" of the European Credit Transfer System along with Dave Cormier's "excellent survey of re-thinking the course hour in the age of asynchronous learning."
