I've been dreaming of creating a platform that used crowd sourcing to map concept & procedural masteries to higher level masteries and to occupations.
Basically, a giant graph database mapping concepts, procedures, systems (versioned), and occupations. I think such a database could be used to improve learning management systems for school faculty and autodidacts alike. It could also serve as the basis for a performance/competency evaluation system that could replace resumes eventually.
- ivan_ah 10y agoThat's very cool. I've been thinking about "detailed" prerequisite structures (e.g. [1]) for a long time, but I never thought about connecting with occupations/jobs/competencies. In addition to replacing resumes, it could also replace exams (e.g. mastery-based grades).

- hnhamdani 10y agoI like the idea, which is work for autodidact/professional who want to master their craftmanship. There is always something to learn. By giving mastery path as a guide would help on self-improvement. We've seen it in Pluralsight or FreecodeCamp where they made the paths for their users. Now, if we can turn it around by making it crowd sourced and to a wider skills, that'd be awesome.
- gregoor 10y agoGlad to hear that someone else finds this direction interesting. I actually built something in that direction half a year ago: https://owleo.com https://owleo.com But I mostly abandoned it for now, as expii.com seems to be pretty close to what I wanted to have. Also since I finished my studies, my learning changed to be more explorative and need-driven, which didn't fit well into the thinking behind Owleo.
