**ONLINE** Centering Demonstration of Essential Learning to Streamline Degree Paths: Competency-Based Education & Credit for Prior Learning
Thursday, November 12, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
As NIU and higher education in general adapt to the needs of current and future university students, competency-based approaches are increasingly being adopted. These approaches can enhance affordability and time-to-degree while focusing on attainment of the most important learning outcomes. High-quality assessment practices are central to the effective implementation of these practices, including granting credit-for-prior learning. Join us for a conversation about trends in the field and a panel of your colleagues implementing these practices at NIU. Advance registration required. Register Now!
