What exactly is competency-based education?
Educause: Competency-based education (CBE) allows students to advance based on their ability to master a skill or competency at their own pace regardless of environment. This method is tailored to meet different learning abilities and can lead to more efficient student outcomes.
#BbWorld14
CBE Cont
• Increases access.
• Increases completion.
• Flexible.
• Meet President’s 2020 Goal “America would once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.” http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/education/higher-education
• Prior Learning Assessment - enables learners to gain credentials for work/military experience.
#BbWorld14
Why Badges for CBE?
• Badges represent knowledge/skill attainment that employers are looking for.
• Verify that a competency has been achieved.
• Badges are an increasingly accepted form of credential.
• Badges rely on competency frameworks and use industry standards.
• Valid assessment strategies
• Portable - the student can bring their badges to different institutions and employers.
• Valuable to the student, inst., and employer because the metadata shows what level of competency has been achieved.
• Demonstrate competencies and substantiate with evidence.
• Empowers learners.

Accreditors Views
• Pat O’Brien, NEASC– Is credit involved? Accreditation is concerned with credit-bearing
experiences, link to financial aid.– Quality - Is the ed. experience for what is being earned of high quality?
How do you know?– Who awards the badges/accepts prior learning credit that a student
brings in in the form of a badge? Oversight and faculty participation are fundamental in assessing the quality of the educational experience.
#BbWorld14
Accreditors views cont.
• What about the student who brings badges to my institution?– Most accreditation agencies leave to the institution the number of
credits that can be transferred in that are “credit for experimentation or non-collegiate sponsored learning.”
– Student must demonstrate academic content is tied to the experience.– Transparency- students need to know clearly what will happen to the
badges, i.e. credit acceptance, credit limits.
