UNC CBE Summit 2017

Michelle Weise

Executive Director, Sandbox Collaborative, Southern New Hampshire University

Michelle Weise, Ph.D., helps institutions and their leaders navigate the dynamics of disruption across a rapidly changing academic terrain.

Weise specializes in disruptive innovation in higher education.  Her work informs policymakers, community leaders, academic administrators and innovators about how the theories of disruption clarify our understanding of the industry’s transformation. Weise’s seminal book – “Hire Education: Mastery, Modularization, and the Workforce Revolution,” co-authored with Clayton Christensen – unveils the tectonic shifts to come, and discusses how online competency-based education will revolutionize the workforce and disrupt higher education.

Beyond competency-based learning, Weise’s research delves into student-learning outcomes, assessments, and public-private partnerships.

ADJOURN

UNC-TV will be demonstrating its Lightboard at the UNC CBE Summit! The Lightboard is used to record dynamic online videos. You simply draw on piece of glass using neon markers. You maintain eye contact with your viewers, and your writing glows in front of you. A camera "flips" the image allowing your writing (or inserted graphics) to appear normal to the viewer. A quick video demo can be found here. 

To see the Lightboard in action at the UNC CBE Summit, stop by the Wintergreen room at 11am, 1pm, or 3pm!

In January 2016, the State Board of Community Colleges voted to support the recommendation from the Future of Community College Nursing Education Ad Hoc committee for a "collaborative development of a competency-based BSN completion program at one of the UNC System nursing schools." In September 2016, the North Carolina Community College System awarded the Division of Nursing at Winston-Salem State University a RN to BSN Competency-Based Education (CBE) Project Grant. The CBE Grant is funded from the state leadership portion of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. Key components in redesigning the curriculum to the CBE model will be discussed.

Nurse educators and administrators of nursing programs must not only understand disciplinary content considerations in competency-based education (CBE) program redesign, but also have to understand CBE delivery models and teaching methodologies for effective student learning outcomes.

At this conference, nursing instructors and education leaders will gain a basic knowledge and understanding of competency-based education (CBE) models and the ability to develop a pilot project on their own campus.
