A current dilemma in education is how to judge what is appropriate work from students at various levels of the post secondary education environment. In a recent research study (ACT, 2007), the ACT organization summarizes their view of high school graduates and the ability of these students to succeed in college. In general, ACT pins the definition of quality curriculum at high school level to two items. First, high school curricula are evaluated as they prepare students to go into the workforce. Second, high school curricula are evaluated as they prepare students to succeed in college. College level work, then, becomes a benchmark against which high school curricula is measured.
"It is very hard to believe ALL these high school courses labeled "College Level" REALLY are ramped up enough."
In the last 5 years, I have been amazed at how the internet has changed. I am on the internet every day for at least 4-5 hours a day doing my job as an online instructor. However, I have been so busy and involved with learning the tools on our virtual campus that I have missed out on the exciting innovations of the web in general.
"Thanks for the dltv suggestion. It is a real cut above most tech type show. Very informative."
