Competency-based learning is fundamental to the design of new learning models that are student-centered and personalized. While competency-based learning or standards-based learning has been an important concept for student-centered learning for decades, only recently did the capability for intelligent information systems -- content management systems, learning management platforms, student information systems, and next generation gradebooks that are competency-based and e-portfolio ready -- exist to help manage these loads of data on how student demonstrate proficiencies.
Liz Glowa, the author of Re-Engineering for Competency Education: Information Technology Design Considerations, discusses how we can re-engineer data systems from teacher-centric, course-based instructional models to student-centered, competency-based learning models.
