However, at this stage I’m more focused on capturing a way of framing curricula and pedagogy (even, perhaps, linking them at the wrists and ankles) rather than focusing on the implementation.

But I think you’re spot on in regard to the opportunities; I’ve spent considerable time developing the theme you’re talking about (all too seriously), over the past decade. I think that there are real opportunities to couple Project Tin Can, portfolios, and analytics to start creating very personal coaches. I think it’s an exciting time, er, if we can find sufficient leverage to take those opportunistic steps.

We often get in stages where we get stuck. I think if the ecosystem has a large set of assets in the activity portfolio that is shown to work for some people in developing a skill, we might be able to correlate which activities may help. I see these rich activity streams (content acquisition, performance, assessment) all “talking” with one another at one point, and adaptive engines and predictive analytics to be able to get folks “unstuck”.

Unfortunately, I could use it now because my sticking points is learning enough about semantic web to get the wrapping so the components can be identified, and the analytics/big data components to help get the right components to help users with the key question “okay, that didn’t work, but what do I do next to move forward?” If only I had some sort of ecosystem that tracked what I’ve tried, could evaluate my performance and recommend what resources might help me reach for the next rung of the ladder.

I suspect this is what I will be spending the rest of my career on. I live in an amazing time in this industry.
