WARP: A Workflow-Aware Instructional Platform for Competency-Based Learning

Abstract

Workflow is the movement of documents and tasks through a business process.Traditionally, workflow technology has been used in applications areas that are clearly procedural and process-oriented such as insurance policy/claim processing, loan request handling, etc. Workflow technology provides a suitable platform to define and manage the coordination of business process activities. Recently, however, competency-based learning (CBL) has been making changes in the educational landscape by allowing a student to take only those modules he needs to. A workflow-aware system is thus necessary to facilitate CBL. This paper discusses WARP, which is a workflow-aware instructional platform for competency-based learning.
