I'd create a platform that used crowd sourcing to map concept & procedural masteries to higher level masteries and to occupations. Then I'd use this platform t

  I've had the same pet project rattling around in my head since ~2007. It makes me sad that someone hasn't stepped in and done the work to make it a reality yet.

    There would be a lot of luck involved in a project like this. If you can't get it to go viral, you can't source the crowd; if you can't source the crowd, you can't get the content you need; etc... I'm not actually sure how to get over the "no content" moat, to be honest. Maybe build the basic framework and then market it as a stackoverflow alternative at first? This would, of course, involve mapping more than just conceptual and procedural masteries. I was thinking of including versioned systems as well (since versioning is the one thing that stackoverflow sucks at).

  That's an interesting idea. You mean a sort of bottom-up approach to syllabus creation? But does this sort of feedback not already happen?

    While a mapping of conceptual and procedural masteries to occupations could be used for syllabus creation (by teachers or autodidacts), it could also be used for performance evaluations and for improving learning systems. If I had known that a general mapping of masteries required for web development with Ruby on Rails looked like [0], then I probably would have approached the subject with a more focused mindset. 0: http://i.imgur.com/3gA9yU7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3gA9yU7.jpg
