A flurry of new instructional approaches has recently emerged in post-secondary education; one approach receiving the most attention is competency-based education (CBE). While many think CBE is relatively new, its roots are deeply seeded in decades-old pedagogical philosophies. The frequency with which CBE is now appearing in conversations about higher education instruction and reform gives the false impression that most practitioners actually know what CBE is, or how it contrasts with other instructional approaches. In fact, the modern dilemma faced by many in higher education is that few institutional leaders have a comprehensive understanding of what CBE is, how it differs from other instructional approaches, the historical significance behind it, and how it might be used to effect pedagogical change and instructional innovation. This chapter explores the historical basis of CBE, its benefits and detriments, and its operational elements.

Innovation In Higher Education

Purposing emerging technologies for instructional innovation in higher education provides a multitude of challenges for students, instructors, and administrators. Educational leaders, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders in higher education often struggle with implementing processes to evaluate technology-based instructional innovation. This chapter details the development, facilitation, and evaluation of projects exploring emerging technologies in order to guide instructional innovation and provide solutions to common teaching and learning challenges. The purpose of these emerging technology exploration projects (ETEPs) is to guide college instructors interested in effectively using emerging technology in their teaching. To that end, this chapter also details opportunities and challenges, as well as potential solutions to these challenges, related to exploring and evaluating instructional innovation through these ETEPs.
