Why has punditry lately overtaken news? Why do lies seem to linger so long in the cultural subconscious even after they’ve been thoroughly discredited? And why, when more people than ever before are documenting the truth with laptops and digital cameras, does fact-free spin and propaganda seem to work so well? True Enough explores leading controversies of national politics, foreign affairs, science, and business, explaining how Americans have begun to organize themselves into echo chambers that harbor diametrically different facts—not merely opinions—from those of the larger culture.
Abstract: The advantages of competency-based education and techniques for writing and operationalizing competencies and performance objectives are described. In these programs, desired learning outcomes are written as behavioral objectives. Objectives must be associated with the instructional delivery system. Such programs avoid content duplication and maintain consistency of competencies. Their success can be hampered by economic and political barriers.
