Why scaling CBE at your institution is critical - Manoj Kutty and Donald Pemberton, eCampus News
We are entering new territory that is already transforming higher education in ways we have not seen since 1893 when the college credit hour was introduced. That territory is being shaped by outcomes. In our country today, there is a real imperative around the quality of teaching and learning and in producing outcomes that allow our nation’s students to compete in the global economy. This imperative is leading policymakers, educators and business leaders to support educational programs where institutions certify mastery and outcomes, as well as provide verification of what students have learned. One of the most effective ways that institutions can scale efforts and demonstrate outcomes like never before is through the marriage of competency based education (CBE) and technology.
