drbubb Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 The Creative skill swaps Platform Swapping: Education, for Apprenticeship work This idea was inspired by a Interview with Dr James Canton, by Richard Syratt on C2C ( the most relevant part is at xx Hours in ) Coast To Coast AM - February 7, 2015 Deja Vu & Future Trends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83itsyV7_G8 Canton spoke about how education of the future might be FREE, and done over the web. In fact, MIT is already offering most of their undergrad course for free over the web. From that germ of an idea, I came up with this idea: A Skills Swap "Technical College" ... where the teachers are more like tutors. They use online lectures (from MIT etc) as the baseline material for an education into certain college level "degrees". The tutors become like intelligent guides and discussion leaders to the material. Courses are offered for Free, but students are expected to participate in Apprenticeship activities which put some of the course materials into practice. The apprenticeship activitiesmight involve: Design, Programming, and other online activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 More than a Hobby: Hackathons enter the Mainstream - To unleash creativity... programming marathons That's what the FT reported today (pg.10) "20 writers, designers, entrepreneurs and programmers gathered at Ravensbourne a digital media college... to find way to enhance the part of the flight that scores lowest for customer satisfaction: arrival." British airways was the sponsor for this event. What is a Hackathon? Hackathons are now held every week in London, New York, San Francisco and beyond... for "a weekend of playful yet competitive coding" Each team develops its own take on the mission, and then sets about fulfilling it for a presentation 24 to 48 hours later Dropbox also had one recently where 130 developers formed 30 teams.. to find innovative ways to create new solutions for utilizing Dropbox's services. The winner there was a mobile blogging tool that used capacity to store text and images. There's a simple hackathon law of: No prototype, No score. This kind of almost-instant deliverability appeals to corporations who want quick results... over just a weekend in a way that does not disrupt normal business activities. Urgency, innovation, speed, and a sense of mission - become biteized and manageable. In the BA 'thon, the rules had teams presenting their solutions to the whole group at the end of day one. Then there were two more days to sort out the prototypes A design consultant, Ideo, has its own version of the 'thon, and calls it a Make-a-thon. Working on prototypes means the whole design process becomes accelerated. Another company, Trilio runs, sponsors, and attends 'thons all over the US and Europe. When 'thons started, tehy were all about code. "Today there is a growing recognition that it is the format and the rules, not the software that makes 'Thons special. When you take creative people and give them a mission and put them under pressure, expect the unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
