Scaling Elements of a Competency-Based Hybrid Instructional Model

into Advanced Manufacturing Courses (Project #1902225)

Faculty Workshops:

The Project PI will offer Faculty Workshops from February through May of  2022.  As part of the ATE Project, these workshops are to be offered for Faculty in all four partner states (AR, MI, NC and OH), but will also allow faculty from other states to attend.  Due to the pandemic, these workshops have changed from face-to-face (in each state), to remote training using both synchronous (Zoom) and asynchronous (LMS) learning.  This will also allow much more flexible scheduling of the workshops to accommodate the Faculty during a semester.  Click on this link to view the information about the workshops: Scaling CBE Elements Faculty Workshop Flyer 020122.pdf

If faculty from any other colleges throughout the country are interested in this project, contact the project PI (Tom Wylie: twylie@northweststate.edu), and he will schedule a Zoom meeting with faculty/staff from your college.  The PI and Co-PIs for this project will assist any college who wishes to learn more about this project, and how to improve their curriculum.

Project Overview:

The purpose of the Scaling CBE Element project is to improve the effectiveness and access of traditional technical (lecture/lab) courses by implementing a portion (element) of successful competency-based hybrid instructional models that have been implemented at various colleges throughout the country.  The project will focus on a four state region (AR, MI, NC & OH), with one college from each state chosen as a college partner.  The partner colleges will each implement a curriculum change based on the competency-based/hybrid model, then analyze the impact of the change. A larger impact of the project will be to build the capacity of faculty from any of the colleges within the four states to be able to scale any of these competency-based elements into their curriculum.  This will be done through faculty workshops and mentoring services.  The goals and objectives of this project is as follows: Scaling CBE Elements Project_ Goals and Outcomes.pdf

The project consists of three parts: 

1. Identifying one CBE Element to scale into curriculum at each of the partner colleges to determine the effectiveness and the impact on student learning the curriculum intervention had.  Upon completion of Faculty training at each partner college, one faculty was identified to lead the effort to create a change in part of their curriculum (scale an element), though other faculty at the partner college are involved with the change process.  The effectiveness and impact of this change is measured by the faculty and reported to the Project Evaluator. Examples of the type of changes that partner colleges created and are implementing will be shown in this one page overview created for the 2020 ATE PI virtual conference: Scaling Elements one page overview for the Virtual PI Conf 2020.pdf

2. Converting two face-to-face, lecture/lab technical courses at Northwest State to the competency-based/hybrid instructional model.  This would involve the Project PI working with full-time Industrial Technology Faculty to convert the courses.  This process is shared with the faculty at the partner colleges, and also documented through a video presentation, allowing it to be disseminated to any faculty/staff who would benefit from this process. An important part of converting a traditional course to a competency-based/hybrid model is the Revers Design process. Here is a graphic that shows the steps that Northwest State uses for this process: Reverse Design Graphic on Converting a Course to CBE Hybrid.pdf

3. Deliver a 1.5 day workshop to college faculty from any college within the 4 specific states in this project, in years 2 & 3 of the project.  Due to the pandemic, these workshops have been changed to an electronic delivery (Zoom).  The focus of the workshops is for college faculty to learn how to scale an element of the CBE model into a college course in an effort to improve the course.  

The following graphic shows the instructional elements (listed on the outside of the circle) that have been successfully implemented into technical courses at many 2-year colleges across the country. New Scaling Wheel.png

Faculty Workshops: Documents and Handouts

The Scaling CBE Elements project was created with college partners from four states (AR, MI, NC & OH).  Each of the college partners received 1-2 full days of training on the CBE model, and how to use the elements of the model to improve student learning.  Faculty from colleges within these four states will be invited to participate in workshops that will also explain how to improve effectiveness and/or access to curriculum.  The first workshop is scheduled to start in March 2021, and will continue until the interest in these workshops are exhausted. 

Miscellaneous Handouts:  The first document is a really good article on how Science Faculty from Front Range Community College implemented CBE into a few of their courses: Competence versus Completion_Does Passing Equate to Learning.PDF

The next handout is a PowerPoint that somewhat explains the HOME4TECHS NSF Project that preceded the NSF Project that funds this workshop.  Northwest State Community College built a process on how to convert traditional lecture/lab courses to a Competency-Based/Hybrid model.  This project was complete in 2018.  21_0225_Background Info on the NSF HOME4TECHS Project.pdf
