Main Agenda Item
Competency-based Learning
Competency-based learning (CBL) is an emerging model
that is gaining traction and can offer learners an efficient, less
costly path to a college credential, increased employability, and
enhanced professional skills. This is particularly the case for those
36 million Americans who have achieved significant prior learning
and/or some college education but have not completed a degree. CBL
provides a framework for defining learning objectives and shifting the
focus to mastery of these objectives rather than “seat time.”
Blackboard has recently acquired MyEdu,
a user-friendly platform used by students to simplify their paths to
degrees and create stronger connections between higher education and
the workforce. This session will provide definitions and a framework
for understanding the ecosystems that make CBL and badges a powerful,
valuable combination and discuss how institutions can leverage this
online platform to enable students to capture and validate
skills/competencies and then align with workforce demand..
In addition, representation from Flat Knowledge
will be on hand to discuss their first of its kind, mobile ready
competency-based education platform with simulations, adaptive learning
and social learning technology to name a few features.
