An episteme diffused by an API (aka API-education, Gamification, Gameducation, MMOedu) APIsteme suggests that radical transformations will occur at the level of enrolment, certification, testing, lectures, courses, degrees, scholarships, tenure, conferences, and class scheduling. In each of these cases, API-steme proposes potential paths for change that are computationally tractable. APIsteme physical space is open just like a store is open. No need to pass any entrance requirements. Try the limited time software demo. All welcome. Semesters are for Farmers Not Learners. Summer holidays were created so students could return to their parent's farm for cultivation and harvest. The world populations is now urban. Knowledge grows even during the summer. Students should be allowed to study what they want when they want. Since information is almost free everywhere, students need planners, filters and access to guides. When you can find the same exams and books being studied all over the world, when curriculums are downloadable, when answers are traded and encryption on even DVDs gets cracked and torrented, then universities need to begin selling access to a process. The internet is an elephant. It changes the role of universities. The epistemological elephant has left the library cage. Knowledge is not inside the university, it is inherent to the network.

How much do you know? of what level? In what domains? What are your peer ratings? What is your total velocity through the system? What is your destination? What are your paths? Who do you flock with? What faculty do you follow? What have you contributed? What are you qualified to teach? All grades are out of 100. N more ambiguous letter grades. N more confusing GPA conversion. Simplified. Standardized. Comprehensible. International. NO COURSES in APIsteme Instead, micro-modules aggregate into clusters which form LEVELS Students navigate upward through LEVELS on PATHS that are predictively revealed according to their capacity. Level-up your life-long learning with a customizable PATH PLAN. Tell API steme What you want to do, & it will tell you what to study. Sample student Lectures. Students follow specific subjects paths, then get assigned best-fit recommended schedules. Faculty sign-up to lead or seed domains. Feeds inform them of all lectures at their level for that week. Transparency Students give and receive real-time feedback on the performance of their peers. Testing-on-demand A student-centric model of evaluation. Students take tests on what they want when they want. APIsteme verifies identity & charges fees for each test. The optimal growth adaption plan for an educational institute is to re-package itself as a platform API service willing to utilize any non-harmful innovative methods capable of efficiently aiding cognitive enhancement and episteme expansion.
