Bridging Education Services and Consumer Expectations Through Reusable Learning Objects

摘要

A competitive job market requires higher education institutions to carefully update cur-riculums and explore new possibilities of technology-related education. In spite of the reforms in education systems, there is still a gap between the skills that the job market expects and the skill set of new graduates (Hinchliffe and Jolly 2011). This gap fertilizes a rising risk of increased unemployment among early graduates (Nghia 2018; Tan et al. 2017). When discussing the responsibility of employability of graduates, there is no clear consensus between higher education institutions and the industry. Employers point at the accountability of educational institutions for the employability of their graduates in the workplace (Nghia 2018). Oppositely, academia points out that education systems provide only a minimum skill set, which has to be enhanced after getting employed (Tan et al. 2017).
