Thursday, October 29, 2015 | 9:00AM–9:50AM | Sagamore Ballroom 7
Session Type:
Professional Development
Our joint research investigates barriers to the adoption of competency-based education and how competencies can provide a new currency that augments the value of credits in educational ecosystems. Competencies document student achievement and create meaningful connections between jobseekers and employment, for faculty and staff development, and for economic development.
Outcomes: Articulate scenarios that illustrate the value of credits and competencies in educational ecosystems * Formulate challenging questions and possible approaches to CBE * Analyze potential impacts of CBE at your institutions
