Technology is here. The system revolves around a grade(variable) per semester (constant). Flip it. The only grade would be a A- (90%) and the variable is the time it take to get there. More conducive with STEM type classes and college level.
Well choreographed classes with multiple "branch" lessens are there for the making. The "A" students would zoom through while the "C" students trudge along, both completing courses with the same competency level.
So when it comes to STEM courses in middle school and high school and college courses in general,d o you think online courses will make them completely irrelevant or do you think it will predominantly be used to complement those types of teaching? In other words, for college and high school STEM classes, which do you think, of choices A, B, C or D I listed in my post at the top, is most likely to happen?
