A new issue of The Journal of Competency-Based Education has been released. New articles include:

1. Designing quality into direct-assessment competency-based education
2. “Right on the money”: CBE student satisfaction and post graduation outcomes
3. Editorial
4. Competency-based education as a force for equity
5. Student success and retention using new definitions created for nonterm, direct assessment CBE

Education Dive reports: A report recently published in the Journal of Competency-Based Education shows CBE programs remain popular among older, “nontraditional” students who already have work experience, with just 10% of undergrads at CBE institutions under the age of 25.
