A few weeks ago I outlined a proposal for a
Colombo Plan 2.0, in the city of Colombo, at an international conference opened by the nation's president. This proposed delivering micro-credentials via mobile devices, to students of Indo-Pacific. It would bootstrap mobile education by using
m-learning to teach computer professionals how to design and deliver such courses. To provide maximum benefit from the courses, each would provide a micro-credential, as well as industry certification, and credit towards a degree. The courses could be designed and delivered jointly, by institutions across the Indo-Pacific, to mixed classes of students from the region. It would provide a response to China's
Belt and Road Education Plan, but in a non-confrontational way.
A short paper to
present on this has been accepted for TALE 2018, in Woolongong, 4-7 December 2018:
