Knowledge, Learning, Community

Useful resource that attempts to bring some consistency to discussions of competency-based learning. It would take a close reading to effectively criticize, consisting as it does of close to a hundred words, ordered in categories and alphabetically, with definitions. It seems pretty good in general, but there's room for persnickety. For example, of "A competency is a specific skill, knowledge, or ability that is both observable and measurable," I would say the term "measurable" is either redundant or overly prescriptive. And I would say that this is too narrow: "Profile refers to a person's documentation of their own skills, competencies, accomplishments, and talents." Via ACE. More.
