Session 2:

CBE Management at the Course Level

Series Description:

Competency-based education (CBE) is an outcomes-based approach to teaching and learning where statements of what students can do as a result of their learning are defined. The curriculum is structured around the specified competencies, and satisfactory academic progress is expressed as the attainment or mastery of those competencies. This series will provide a brief overview of the driving force for CBE education and developments since its inception highlighting its benefits and challenges. This is followed by a panel of speakers providing current and future management directions at the course level. The series ends with a discussion of the linkages between best practices in CBE assessment at the course level and the implications for student outcomes reporting at the program level.
