This session will provide a brief overview of CBE regulations, design models, and learner experience considerations, focusing on how CBE can be successfully delivered using quality frameworks. Participants will identify, discuss, and explore key inputs supporting an engaged faculty and student experience. Join three CBE leaders as they connect how their own institutions have instituted, continuously improved, and evolved various CBE models in this interactive presentation.
Session Objectives:
Recognize the key features and value of competency-based education for learners, workforce, and educational institutions.
Explain the foundations of operationalizing CBE and the key elements of the engaged faculty and learner experience.
Connect C-BEN’s quality frameworks to how CBE is implemented for three leading institutions.
Opportunities to Engage First Year Students at Community CollegesHobsons
As part of the Student Success and Support Program (SSSP) led by the Chancellor’s Office, Los Medanos College began implementing tools from the Starfish Enterprise Success Platform – specifically, early alert and degree planning – in 2015. In this Webinar, you’ll learn about their recipe for implementing student success technologies within a statewide initiative.
SUNY Broome is one of 64 campuses in the State University of New York System and a new member of Achieving the Dream. “Joining Achieving the Dream was important for us,” said Heather Darrow, Staff Associate for Student Retention. “We are striving to become a college that is proactive and not reactive. I think that’s why we joined when we did - and why we invested in Starfish. Both investments demonstrate our administration’s commitment to student success.” SUNY Broome focused on early alert flags and Kudos in their initial implementation, and now they are eager to do more. They are training faculty, building automated workflows around flags, and developing ways to encourage participation both within the faculty and for those in non-academic roles. This Webinar will focus on advice and “lessons learned” in the early stages of implementing the Starfish platform at a community college. As Heather Darrow said, “In the beginning it seemed very abstract – I know it can be hard to conceptualize how Starfish will work. But I figured it out, and others can too. I look forward to helping other schools!” Speakers: Heather Darrow, Staff Associate for Student Retention Michelle Beatty, Online Student Advisor

Online course enrollment is growing while traditional f2f course enrollments continue to decline. Despite the increased demand, online classes can be intimidating for first-time or non-traditional learners as they may feel isolated or uncomfortable navigating the virtual classroom while also trying to juggle academic, economic, and familial obligations. Student engagement and a sense of community are fundamental components of student success as they “increase student satisfaction, enhance student motivation to learn, reduce the sense of isolation, and improves student performance” (Martin, et al). This presentation details a pilot program at SUNY Oswego designed to familiarize students with the online course environment while creating an active and engaging online community for non-traditional learners in online and blended programs.

This slide presentation was part of a Learnshop at Online Educa Berlin 2013. This was an interactive, discussion based session:
Competency-based education addresses the rising cost of education and supports employability of graduates. It offers a path for adults to accelerate degree completion by acknowledging prior learning and work experience. Until recently, prior learning has meant transfer credit from a different educational institution. Although this is still relevant, it is expanding to include consideration of learning via open educational resources and MOOCs. Can these also be incorporated as part of an accredited degree program? Work in small groups with the expert panel in this dynamic and interactive Learnshop to grow your theoretical and practical understanding of competency-based higher education and develop thinking on implementation of this model in a European context.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Competency-based
Education Network
Definition of CBE
Competency-based education combines an
intentional and transparent approach to curricular
design with an academic model in which the time it
takes to demonstrate competencies varies and the
expectations about learning are held constant.
Students acquire and demonstrate their knowledge
and skills by engaging in learning exercises, activities
and experiences that align with clearly defined
programmatic outcomes. Students receive proactive
guidance and support from faculty and staff. Learners
earn credentials by demonstrating mastery through
multiple forms of assessment, often at a
personalized pace.
4. Higher
Education Act
Definition of
Direct
Assessment
• In the 2006 revision of the Higher Education Act of 1965,
the U.S. Department of Education defines direct
assessment as:
• …an instructional program that, in lieu of credit or
clock hours as a measure of student learning,
utilizes direct assessment of student learning, or
recognizes the direct assessment of student
learning by others. The assessment must be
consistent with the accreditation of the institution
or program utilizing the results of the assessment.
(e-CFR, 668.10(a)(1))
5. What is Direct Assessment
in plain language?
• Learners gain credit through a direct
measure of their learning: (e.g., project,
presentation, exam, portfolio).
• This is the only required activity for
credit.
• Learners move at their own pace
(slower or faster)
• Learners gain credit that is equivalent to
an institutions’ courses
• Most institutions “crosswalk” or
map courses to competencies
• Many institutions use a subscription or
“all you can learn” model
8. How does this relate to other quality metrics?
