45. Mind the Gap!
HUGE demand over the next 10 years
Entrepreneurs are on their way

46. Anywhere, Free
If I can learn anywhere for free,
and show my credentials anywhere for free…

What does this look like?

“Assessment as Status Update”
(Tweets, product and book reviews, etc.)

49. Ubiquitous Assessment
What kind of infrastructure
does this require?

No one is working on this infrastructure

51. 2. Leveraging Big, Messy Data
10s of 1000s of tiny data points per person
spread across a year
User-generated items

52. Leveraging Big, Messy Data
What kind of psychometrics
are needed to deal with this?

53. 3. From Summative to Formative
The majority will be formative
At scale does formative
function as summative?

54. From Summative to Formative
