Why It’s Time to Disrupt Higher Education by Separating Learning From Credentialing - Joseph V. Kennedy, et al; Information Technology and Innovation Foundation

This paper argues that the federal government should spur reform by promoting alternatives to traditional college diplomas that allow individuals to more effectively demonstrate educational mastery to prospective employers. This would give students the freedom to pursue their own best options for learning, incentivize students to study harder and schools to teach better, and apply competitive pressure on colleges and universities to reduce the costs of education. http://www2.itif.org/2016-disrupting-higher-education.pdf
