Course Summary
The Institutional Capacity Building for CBDC Implementation and Management (ICB-CBDC) Course is a structured, online faculty development and institutional leadership program designed to orient academic administrators, curriculum committee members, and faculty to the key processes, structures, and educational principles underlying the Competency-Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) of the BHMS program. This course integrates the essential elements of curriculum implementation support and management planning into a unified, immersive learning experience delivered through the ShikshaX Learning Management System (LMS).
Introduction to Course
The transition to Competency-Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) marks a paradigm shift in health professional education — from content delivery to measurable competence acquisition. For successful implementation, institutions must develop governance structures, foster faculty readiness, and build collaborative ecosystems that ensure sustainability of educational reforms. This course equips institutional leaders and educators with conceptual understanding and operational tools to plan, execute, and monitor CBDC implementation effectively.
Importance of the Course Structure
The ICB-CBDC Course combines two previously distinct training pathways — Implementation Support and Management Microlearning — into a single, comprehensive program. It is designed as a blended microlearning experience with modular videos, reflective activities, reading materials, and formative assessments. The course duration is approximately six hours and is self-paced within a two-week access period.
Upon enrolment, learners will receive access credentials via registered email. A pre-test will assess baseline understanding. Participants will then progress through nine modules, each comprising short video sessions, downloadable slides, transcripts, and interactive activities. At the end of each module, a quiz must be completed with a minimum score of 50% to proceed. A post-test at the end of the course evaluates learning gain. Upon successful completion, participants receive a digital certificate of completion issued by ShikshaX.
Credit Calculation and Duration
Total estimated duration: 6 hours. Based on one academic credit per 20 hours of learning engagement (including video, reading, and assessment), this program is equivalent to 0.3 academic credits. Participants typically spend 30–40 minutes per module, including reflection and quiz attempts.
