Five Global Values in Action
Leadership expert and author, Rakesh Malhotra, has written Adventures of the Tornado Kid as a way to help teach children the ‘value of values’.
He believes we need to counteract the loss of traditional role models and the mass of conflicting messages that children are exposed to in today’s global media landscape. With no clear guidance, students leave school with professional qualifications but little in the way of an underlying value system.
The lack of societal values, such as responsibility, compassion and integrity, has been of increasing concern in recent years with the corruption and fraud exposed at the heart of the financial system. It is something that Malhotra has sought to address with his work.
He has used his experience as a successful CEO and extensive study of human behavior to devise a system which identifies the five core values that act as the foundation for a successful life. They have been chosen so as not to conflict with any existing religion, faith or culture.

Open Assessments and OERs as Enablers in Competency-Based Education
Call for Demos for the X International UOC UNESCO Chair Seminar
Title: Open Assessments and OERs as Enablers in Competency-Based Education
Tom Caswell, Helix Education
Brandon Muramatsu, MIT
It has been said that if you are measuring seat time rather than competency then you are measuring the wrong end of the student. Competency-based education has received a great deal of attention as a disruptive innovation that promises to raise quality and lower the cost of higher education. EDUCAUSE defines competency-based education (CBE) as awarding academic credit based on mastery of clearly defined competencies. In traditional higher education time is fixed and learning varies, which is why students receive grades at the end of a quarter or semester. Contrast this with competency-based education, where learning is fixed and time varies for each student. But if time varies then how do students know when they are done? Assessments play a central role in CBE because student performance must be measured against set standards.
While there are vast repositories of OERs, relatively few come with assessments to validate knowledge or check for understanding. In this demo we will show the Open Embedded Assessment (OEA) tool developed by MIT and Open Tapestry. Open Assessment complements existing OER efforts with tools to allow instructors to embed assessments in any OER, thereby providing students with a richer learning experience. Faculty can also create shared collections of assessment items with other faculty. We will demonstrate the current state of Open Embedded Assessments as both a formative and a summative tool. We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of a CBE implementation.
As more institutions explore competency-based education the need for an open infrastructure will grow. Helix Education is developing CBE courses using OERs to show what is possible within the Helix platform. Open Embeddable Assessments allow OERs to be leveraged into richer learning environments. Enhanced with Open Embeddable Assessments, these environments can provide valuable information back to students, faculty, and instructional designers. This data can expose gaps and deficiencies in the course -- areas that should be strengthened. And with open content the opportunity for data-driven improvement can be fully realized because the OERs can be legally modified. Together, Open Embeddable Assessments and OERs create a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement that can serve competency-based education well.
