To what degree do these initiatives incorporate the latest e-learning knowledge/ideas?
Also, to what degree do these and other e-learning curriculum or processes align with rapid change in relevant technology knowledge and skills?
I think that these types of programs can call into question or clarify the distinction between academic and vocational knowledge/experience.
What good is a programmer who isn't able to recognize the difference between an algorithm which takes exponential time or memory versus one that is linear? On the other hand, what good is a programmer who wastes his time optimizing an algorithm because he didn't know how to use the profiler or worse, was just using an outdated library or technology platform?
