In Gary’s last post on the “fall out” from free education, the writer was concerned about the role of community colleges as partners in economic development.
I’m wondering if assessment-based certificates will help community colleges transition to a new business model. Workforce development at community colleges has long included traditional certificates as well as short continuing education credits.
Providing something in between called an assessment-based certificate would increase revenue for the organization, as a certifying body according to a video by Castle Worldwide.

Not able to embed vimeo….a good reason to use You Tube.
the embed shows up, but it says in the video screen area that you don’t have permission to embed because that’s a “Vimeo Plus” feature.
I like your comment Kris, because we have been focusing on the higher ed news, which is where a LOT is happening right now, but it’s just as important what happens with community college and advance placement and vocational courses etc…. and there will be a LOT of change coming there too. And PSA is NOT doing higher Ed per se, so good to focus also on the niche we are working in.
