How many "open problems" can you name?


I love this tweet from Clay Shirky. I think BGI does a great job of using this as a measure of student engagement, learning, and progress. We talk a lot about solutions, too, but always in a very open context that certainly includes identifying other problems that live in the same system. And if we change "open problems" to "challenges" or even, dare I say it, "opportunities," I think BGI does an even better job at incorporating those conversations, and even of making them the focal point of the learning process.

In what ways might other schools, workplaces, and institutions adopt the view that the ability to articulate opportunities and challenges as a key indicator of learning and engagement?

(Thanks for retweeting this, ChristopherA!)
