Don't we need a tried and tested assessment system to underpin our education system and provide a benchmark for students? The stage is set for a major battle between educational traditionalists and radical modernisers as this year's ONLINE EDUCA debate discusses the motion that "a ban on diplomas and degrees awarded by schools and universities would have a positive impact on competence development and lifelong learning".]]>https://learningnews.com/news/oeb-learning-technologies-europe/2012/the-secret-to-succeeding-in-a-vuca-worldMon, 12 Nov 2012 09:19:10 GMThttps://learningnews.com/news/oeb-learning-technologies-europe/2012/the-secret-to-succeeding-in-a-vuca-worldThe advent of the economic crisis coupled with innovative technological developments are forcing businesses to navigate their way through uncertain territory.
