Dear MED colleagues,
I would like to propose a session for TLC on Competency Based Learning or Competency Based Education. I searched last year's program and did not find a single discussion of the topic. I have been reading Rasmussen, Northrup and Colson's (2017)
Handbook of Research on Competency Based Education. Hershey, PA: IGI Global.
Is anyone else interested in having a session on this topic? It is particularly applicable to online programs. Full implementation allows students to select courses and take as much time as they need to complete. Partial implementation breaks courses down into short modules and allows students to take as many modules as they like in a term. That way if they finish one part quickly, they con move on to the next without waiting for the next term.
If you are interested, please send me a note at
james_spee@redlands.eduSee you in Vancouver!
