Content Developers • If you are assigned in the Content Shell, you should not
be in the Assessment Shell Assessment Developers: • If you are an Assessment developers you will not have
access to the Content Shell
Separation of Duties
• Too many roadblocks (manual releases) • Lacking faculty / student interactivity • Student confusion about CBE course
• Assessments do not 100% fit for CBE
Issues
• Remove un-necessary course components – Discussion – Course unavailable – Challenge option
• Automate student progress by using release condition
• Use intelligent agent to notify faculty about student progress
• Re-design assessment questions • Use industry certificate exam to replace
evaluation assessment
Improvements and course structure change
Future changes
• Convert all course to be one unit course • Adding navigation video for student
