My note: Badges can be the perfect materialization of channeling the social status notion among teenagers.

competency-based education

How Nightingale College Moved 70 Students to CBE in Just 2 Weeks

WEBINAR | December 8, 2015 | 1:00pm ET

Chances are, you’ve heard of competency-based education (CBE). Your institution may be just starting to explore CBE, or you might already be developing some courses or programs and would like to learn more.  That’s why we’ve invited Nightingale College to talk about how they got started with CBE and how they were able to roll it out to 70 students in just two weeks.

Nightingale College wanted to start offering competency-based courses but quickly ran into problems because their LMS couldn’t support it.

Join us on December 8 for a live webinar with Nightingale College to find out:

•    Why CBE is an ideal model for their “nontraditional” students
•    How they support self-paced learning and use tools to track student progress
•    What the initial program results are, including feedback from students and faculty
•    Why they chose Brightspace as their technology platform for CBE course delivery

net neutrality back in court

5 Things To Know: Net Neutrality Is Back In Court

It’s the third time in less than a decade that the FCC’s attempts to regulate Internet access have been challenged in court.

1. The key question the court will answer is whether the FCC had proper authority to reclassify broadband Internet as a more heavily regulated telecommunications service.

2. Reclassification is at the heart of the industry’s legal challenge.

3. Another part of the new rules the court will consider will be whether mobile Internet and cable Internet should be regulated the same way.

4. Not much has changed since the rules went into effect in June.

5. Whatever this court decides, net neutrality will likely end up at the Supreme Court.
