Abstract

This paper presents how competency-based education principles have been used in the Web Design and Development program at Utah Valley University and how this approach may transfer to a semester-based college/university setting. Self-paced individual student competency learning is compared against that of student group-based learning and how to make equivalent curricular experiences across several teaching modalities. Individual-paced classes afford an easy transition to online or live-streaming modalities. Team-based classes don't easily allow for either an online or live-streaming experience. © 2023 IEEE.
