Setting Up Competency Based Education
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
Set up Competency Based Education (CBE) in Desktop and in J1 Web. Use this topic to guide you through these tasks:
Turn CBE on and configure the settings
Define CBE elements (units and competencies)
Assign roles and permissions
Designate courses and sections as CBE
Assign competencies to courses and sections
CBE License Required
Competency Based Education requires the Competency Based Education license.
IT or module managers use the Registration Configuration window in Desktop to turn CBE on and set the basic configurations.
In J1 Web, they set permissions for registrars and module managers, and they define CBE components. Then module managers or registrars assign competencies to catalog courses, course sections, and/or student-sections. See "Setting Up Competency Based Education" for details.
