9. Ranking should have multiple model
The right ranking is personalized, which satisfy your goals, objectives, mission, values

10. Directions in university multiple model ranking
Sudent choice
Level of study
Areas of study
Specialized vs broad/comprehensive university
Size of institution
Expert ranking
Teaching & Learning
Research
Knowledge Transfer
International Orientation
Regional Engagement

11. Personalized ranking
other formative description data should be taken into account, which are not usually presented in the known league tables (U-multirank is on the way)
as employment opportunities, tuition fee, accommodation, campus facilities, proximity to home etc…

12. The components of University education
Formal learning
Non-formal learning
Informal learning

13. Formal learning
normally delivered by trained teachers in a systematic intentional way within university, is always organised and structured, and has learning objectives. From the learner’s standpoint, it is always intentional: i.e. the learner’s explicit objective is to gain knowledge, skills and/or competences.
Example: university courses

14. Informal learning
is a general term for learning outside of a standard school setting. It can refer to various forms of alternative education. Informal learning occurs through the experience of day-to-day situations, which typically take place naturally and spontaneously as part of other activities. It is learning from life, play, exploring, etc.
Example: situated and spontaneous learning, during a meal at table with peers or professors

15. Non-formal learning
is organized learning outside the formal learning system, which do not either have the level of curriculum, syllabus, accreditation and certification associated with 'formal learning', but have more structure than that associated with 'informal learning.
Example: learning by coming together with people with similar interests and exchanging viewpoints, in clubs or in youth organizations, workshops.

16. Where did the 80% come from?

17. Marcia Conner (2005) :“Most learning doesn’t occur in formal training programs. It happens through processes not structured or sponsored by an employer or a school. Informal learning accounts for over 75% of the learning taking place in organizations today.”

18. Allen Tough (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, 1999) “Another finding was that we were looking at all learning efforts, including ‘professionally planned’ or ‘academic or institutional’ or whatever you want to call them; formal. We found a 20/80% split. 

19. Princeton University Learning Philosophy 70/20/10 formula
Princeton University Learning Philosophy 70/20/10 formula* that describes how learning occurs:
70% from real life and on-the-job experiences, tasks and problem solving – informal learning, 20% from feedback and from observing and working with role models. 10% from formal training.

20. In the known rankings (THE, QS, ARWU) the most indicators refers to formal learning (as for bachelor level), whereas “most learning doesn’t occur in formal learning program”
P.S. The citation and reputation indices are mostly refer to universities scientific and research activities. Formally research work starts at master level. Indeed, scientific and research internship have informal education components. But this is not less complex question how to measure the scientific work.
The personalization of master or postgraduate education level certainly is necessary.

21. Anticipation
The gap between online and face-to-face learning is decreasing with interdisciplinary, networked and online learning developments
the differentiation of formal learning quality in various universities becomes less visible
Ranking’s place based on formal learning quality description becomes less important

22. Best university rankings
But informal learning will have crucial importance as well as now on condition of the formal learning quality standards performance.
So we should plot the future university rankings for entrance based on the personalized formal learning ranking plus university’s informal learning quality.
