Personalized Learning: NAU's Competency-Based Model
Originally Held: February 26, 2014

Northern Arizona University became one of the first state colleges to offer competency-based bachelor degree programs that are not bound by semesters and seat time. During this COIL Conversation Corrine Gordon, Assistant Clinical Professor of Liberal Arts, Personalized Learning at NAU, provided an overview of the development of these programs from conception to facilitation. The conversation focused on competency-based instruction, assessment models, and political and collegial ramifications that might accompany implementing innovative learning models within more traditional higher educational settings. The primary goal of the session was to give participants an opportunity to discuss and consider whether a competency-based model would flourish at Penn State and what some of the implications might be.
