Solution 1: Use Existing CompetenciesSolution 2: Create New CompetenciesSolution 3: Other ?
Challenge 1: Competency DevelopmentI.e., How would (or did) you determine the competencies that will frame the competency-based program and drive its assessment development and resource planning?

Solution 1: Single ModalitySolution 2: Dual ModalitySolution 3: Other ?
Challenge 2: Program StructureI.e., Would you offer a single modality (competency only) or would you offer a dual modality (competency & course-based), or another modality?

Solution 1: Comprehensive ProjectSolution 2: Multiple Projects Solution 3: Other ?
Challenge 3: Assessment Design I.e., Would you use a single large continuous authentic project linked to students’ work/real life that builds throughout the program toward a final summative comprehensive project or would you opt for multiple projects of varying types that may or may not align to students’ work/real life or another option?

Solution 1: Bundled (Mentor-Evaluator = Instructor)Solution 2: Unbundled (Mentor + Evaluator = Instructor)Solution 3: Other ?
Challenge 4: Faculty ModelI.e., Would you structure your faculty model so that there was one instructor assigned per competency or competency group or would you unbundle the instructor role or another option?

Solution 1: Unidirectional (No Mobility)Solution 2: Bidirectional (Mobility)Solution 3: Other ?
Challenge 5: EnrollmentI.e., IF you used a dual modality, would you use a unidirectional enrollment not allowing students to go among programs or a bidirectional enrollment, allowing students to go between both programs, or another option?
