As the lead institution in the BIB consortium, SIUE will be soliciting and evaluating proposals from companies offering competency-based learning platforms and qualified to provide technology and services in this area for a grant performance period ending September 30, 2017.

Key features needed for consideration include: ability to import O*NET competencies and link them to specific academic assessments, rolling enrollment/adaptive study support, weighted competencies, course-development and assessment building functionality, user-friendly interface.
