Fee payments lift MOOC completion rates

Fee payments lift MOOC completion rates
Tim Dodd, Australian Financial Review, 2015/04/13

The numbers game

The numbers game
Steve Wheeler, Learning With Es, 2015/04/15
The assignment of a numeric value to student work is a technology. It's actually a relatively recent technology. Why did we adopt it? Steve Wheeler asks the question and the closest he comes to an answer is in saying "marking of students' work is... about how their work measures up against standards."
