Canvas for Competency Based Education
With Canvas LMS your institution can support open-entry, variable-paced Competency Based Education (CBE) programs using the same LMS your students and faculty have grown to love! As schools evolve to address concern over rising student costs and the lack of alignment between college graduate skills and labor-market needs, Canvas has evolved with you.
All about the Student
The CBE approach allows students to advance based on their ability to demonstrate mastery of a skill, or “competency.” Students can progress at their own pace towards a predefined set of outcomes and are frequently assessed along their learning path to help them achieve, and prove, understanding on a personal and authentic level.
- Student-centered learning
- Focused on mastery of skills
- Clear pathways on a personal pace
