Wiki+courses+that+lead+to+accreditation

An idea presented to the NSW TAFE Outreach Exchange workshop... Discussed and fleshed out a bit with note taken to the [|Teach and Learn Online Blog]... Concept say far: 1. Nominate a Training Package from the (Australian) National Training Information Service ([|NTIS]), or develop your own. 2. Copy accross the list of [|competencies] in that Training Package to a new page in the course wiki. 3. Form a network of educators around the wiki and design learning assignments for each competency that requires a student to produce a learning resource for others attempting to learn that skill/competency. Provide links to other good resources that will assist the student to learn the skill/competency initially. 4. Students keep a webJournal for the self passed learning efforts, uploading their assignments as they go. When finished, the student submits their journal for recognition, and if need be sits an interview and test. Quality assignments are fed back into this wiki, and the fee for assessment, recognition and certification from a Registered Training Organisation ([|RTO]) are negotiated based on how many assignments are used back in the wiki, and how much time the student is prepared to offer as a mentor to the next student.
