 Instructional capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instructional capital is a term used in educational administration after the 1960s, to reflect capital resulting from investment in producing learning materials.
Some have objected to this phrasing, which is an elaboration of referring to training as "human capital," either for the same reason that phrase is objectionable, or on the grounds that it implies that the human in which the knowledge is "invested" is a resource to be exploited.
Instructional capital can be used to guide or limit or restrict action by people (individual capital) or equipment (infrastructural capital) (if the learning materials are computer programs).

 Knowledge management
The use of the word 'management' highlights the fact that knowledge is an important resource/asset (in academic accounting regimes it is referred to as instructional capital).
Like other styles of capital[?] it requires a focused effort to optimise acquisition, transfer and deployment in an organization and to make sure of the availability and reliability at the right time for decision making[?].
Human development theory for instance draws a strong parallel between the natural capital of the planet's ecologies and the individual capital of human beings, and argues that both simply grow on their own without gaining much from intervention, other than very minimal guidance and protection.

 Styles of capital - Consumerium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Without knowing them, auditing cannot ever be trustworthy, and a trusted auditor has only social capital not instructional capital backing him.
Natural capital (land), financial capital (money), and infrastructural capital (equipment) are the most basic.
It is also common now among accounting gurus to talk of social capital (interpersonal and community trust), instructional capital (like code or claims made in this Content Wiki), and individual capital (human creativity and skills bodies are trained in, which is "used up" as labour the same as equipment is used up in production).

 Ingenuity
The term ingenuity or applied ideas is used in the analysis of Thomas Homer-Dixon[?], building on that of Richard Romer[?], to refer to what is usually called instructional capital.
Ingenuity is often inherent in creative individuals, and thus is considered hard to separate from individual capital.
It is not clear if Dixon or Romer considered it impossible to do so, or if they were simply not familiar with the prior analysis of "applied ideas", "intellectual capital", "talent", or "innovation" where instructional and individual contributions have been carefully separated, by economic theorists.

Moreover, the construction of leadership for instruction is often situated in various types of interactions (e.g., subject area) and varies by the leaders' position.

 Factors of production Summary
Although it did not deal substantially with complex issues of a sophisticated modern economy, the classical theory is useful as the basis of microeconomics, however many distinctions one cares to make or macro-theory or political economy one chooses to apply to trade them off or set their valuations in society at large.
Land has become natural capital, imitative aspects of Labor have become instructional capital, creative or inspirational aspects or "Enterprise" have become individual capital (in some analyses), and social capital has become increasingly important.
The classical relationship of financial capital and infrastructural capital is still recognized as central, but there is a wider debate on means of production and various means of protection, or " rights", to secure their reliable use.

 Individual capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Individual capital comprises inalienable or personal traits of persons, tied to their bodies and available only through their own free will, such as skill, creativity, enterprise, courage, capacity for moral example, non-communicable wisdom, invention or empathy, non-transferable personal trust and leadership.
Human development theory reflects both distinctions: it sees labour as the yield of individual capital in the same way that neoclassical macro-economics sees financial capital as the yield of the looser idea of human capital.
Perhaps because of this, not all theorists recognize individual capital as being as essential as labour, or distinct from social or political influence, or from instructional capacity.

Even with this excess instructional capacity, UC's plan is to ask the state to spend tens of millions of dollars constructing new instructional facilities—when utilizing existing facilities during the summer could accommodate additional students at no additional capital cost.
The UC's capital improvement plan does not reflect the Legislature's intent that enrollment growth be accommodated through utilization of existing facilities during the summer, before constructing new facilities.
We, therefore, recommend the Legislature direct UC to delete from its capital outlay plan the construction of instructional space that is intended to accommodate enrollment growth that could be accommodated in existing facilities during summer term.
