Ideas/Suggestions that guide the way
- Offer courses that resemble major certification(or even degree) programs, so graduates can take exams directly.
- Courses should vary to all audience levels.
- Courses may include outsources, students go take, finish assignments then come back to continue.
- Find some way to offer official, accredited certification for courses/programs bu some famous univs/open-source orgs.
- Dynamic curriculum: is to set a curriculum for each student according to his/her needs.
- Define suitable curriculum building on each case through one, unified exam.
- Use Startpoint/Endpoint as a studying method.
- Start point is which track a student should start with.
- Endpoint is what is the target set of skills a student wants to eventually gain.
