A lot of education at universities these days is not about learning, but about getting an accreditation. People tend to learn a lot on the job too, and outside of universities on their own via other means (udemy, YouTube tutorials, freecodecamp, etc.).
It seems chatGPT is exposing this fact, as so much assessment at university is still focused on essays and exams. What do you think about the future of universities in this new context? How can they restructure to put a focus back on "learning" vs. accreditation, and should they?
