And Capella\u2019s one-of-a-kind competency map is a visual dashboard that lets students track their demonstration of career-relevant competencies through each of their courses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/12\/competency-map.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1029 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/12\/competency-map.png\" alt=\"capella university competency map example\" width=\"660\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/12\/competency-map.png 660w, https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/12\/competency-map-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2014\/12\/competency-map-607x460.png 607w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: Each course at Capella focuses on several competencies. Students must demonstrate mastery of multiple criteria within each competency to complete a course. When faculty assess assignments, their evaluation of a student\u2019s demonstrated level of proficiency on a course competency shows up on the competency map, which acts as a real-time indicator of performance. Students know at a glance how many criteria they\u2019ve completed, and how well they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Students, faculty, and advisors can reference this dashboard to celebrate educational achievements and identify opportunities for improved focus. Students can also use it to supplement transcripts or resumes, or share it with employers to demonstrate areas of strength.<\/p>\n<p>The competency map is automatically updated as assignments are evaluated, providing an instant snapshot of overall progress. This kind of visualization can provide significant motivation as students move closer to the completion of their degree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Discover all the benefits of <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capella.edu\/about\/competency-based-education\/\"><em>competency-based education<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capella University\u2019s competency map is a one-of-a-kind tool that gives students real-time visualization of their progress toward completing their degree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":1035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":[],"categories":[73],"tags":[25],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/81"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1012"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5502,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012\/revisions\/5502"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stgwww.capella.edu\/blogs\/cublog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
