Personalizing Growth: Shifting to Competency-Based Education with FeedbackFruits
As more and more students express dissatisfaction with “one-size-fits-all” learning, higher education is at a turning point to find more inclusive and authentic approaches. Competency-based education (CBE) has been identified as an effective model for establishing a personalized, skill-oriented curriculum that emphasizes lifelong learning and mastery of essential skills for the workplace.
However, implementing CBE can be a challenging process, both due to a lack of standards for defining competencies and to technical limitations on scaling the process to large student cohorts, such as difficulties with combining and accessing learner analytics, insufficient configurability of learning tracks and rubrics, and the prioritization of age-based, rather than mastery-based cohorts.
Join this webinar to explore the fundamentals and best practices of CBE and learn how Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University (RSM) and FeedbackFruits co-developed Competency-Based Assessment, a flexible pedagogical solution to empower a smooth implementation of CBE in higher education.
