Abstract

Institutions approach the design and development of competency-based programs through macro- and micro-level strategies. From high level, system-focused decisions to individual course instructional strategies, administrators, faculty, and designers must maintain focus on the needs of the learner as they address issues and barriers of academic policies and institutional infrastructure. A variety of strategies at the macro- and micro-level must be incorporated into the design, development, and implementation of a competency-based course and program. Following guidance offered through standards, guidelines, and best practices, competency-based courses and programs can meet the needs of students as they demonstrate their competence in course and program content.
