A space to learn together, peer to peer, about the proposed UW "flexible degree option."

The purpose of this P2PU study group is to create an open space for interested University of Wisconsin Parkside faculty and staff to learn about the proposed UW System competency-based Flexible Degree Option.  Participants in this group will have a better understanding of what competency-based degrees look like and the external social and economic forces driving universities, including the UW System, to develop such degrees.  UW Parkside faculty and staff are welcome to participate using their uwp.edu email account.  Postings from real people with real names are welcome.  (Anonymous or pseudonymous comments will not be posted by the moderator.)
