Abstract:
Competency-based education learners don't fit the mold for the typical college student, especially when it comes to what motivates them to enroll. Join this session to see what recent research reveals about the enrollment motivators for CBE enrollees.
Extended Abstract:
In the fall of 2016, over 400 competency-based education enrollees from four institutions of higher education were surveyed regarding what motivated them to enroll in a competency-based education program. The results of this research will be shared, as well as implications for enrollment, recruitment and retention of competency-based education learners. The session will include interactive elements, to see if perception matches what the research reveals.
Key Audience Take-Aways:
- Enrollment motivators for competency-based education learners
- Discussion of implications for further research, especially as it relates to the broader population of adult and online learners.
