Competency-Based Education: Implementing Quality Frameworks for an Engaged Faculty & Learner Experience
The landscape of competency-based education (CBE) has progressed tremendously over the past few years in higher education. This session will provide a brief overview of CBE regulations, design models, and learner experience considerations, focusing on how CBE can be successfully delivered using quality frameworks. Participants will identify, discuss, and explore key inputs supporting an engaged faculty and student experience. Join three CBE leaders as they connect how their own institutions have instituted, continuously improved, and evolved various CBE models in this interactive presentation.

Session Objectives:

• Recognize the key features and value of competency-based education for learners, workforce, and educational institutions.
• Explain the foundations of operationalizing CBE and the key elements of the engaged faculty and learner experience.
• Connect C-BEN’s quality frameworks to how CBE is implemented for three leading institutions.
