The purpose of the VC:CBM (Virtual
Curriculum: Competency-Based Modules) is to use a database approach to
course delivery by developing competency-based modules that support the
seventeen universities in the Great Cities' Universities.
The major objective of VC:CBM is the
utilization of instructional technology to increase access to course materials
that specifically address core competencies needed for successful instruction
in urban public schools where there is a dire need for well qualified, caring
teachers. The achievement of this objective should result in improvements in
instructional effectiveness and learning outcomes.
