Stephen Downes shares his thoughts on assessment. I very much agree
with much of what he says and think that this is an area where we will
see a lot of movement in the next few years.

Some time ago, I proposed to the United Nations University to become a
global assessment and accreditation provider. While it would have had
to deal with all the same structural problems of assessment, such a service would
have increased the value of existing open education resources to users
tremendously. The UNU was not convinced that it should play this role
at the time.
