Integrating Competency Based Education (CBE) on your campus
Higher education is abuzz about Competency Based Education (CBE). Everyone is in a race to determine the best ways to incorporate curricula within a framework of marketable skills. However, creating a meaningful CBE program on your campus can generate changes to your academic, administrative, and student support practices.

Join Blackboard CBE thought leaders in a discussion about the challenges your campus can expect to encounter and learn how Van Davis brought a successful CBE plan to successful completion with the Texas Affordable Baccalaureate program.
