Much of the new course content will be “mobile-first” -- meaning online and designed to be delivered on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, system officials said. The online content will be adaptive, and respond to individual students. There will also be hybrid courses, which will feature classroom instruction. The goal is to customize the learning experience for students while also creating a path that is “cross-institutional,” said Steve Mintz, executive director of the Institute for Transformational Learning, which is leading the work. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/11/06/competency-based-health-profession-credentials-university-texas-system
