Abstract
The competency-based approach is in constant discussion in Argentina and Latin American universities. InnovaHiEd Academy and IGIP Argentine section are authorized training centers that offer the International Engineering Educator Certification Program (IEECP) to Latin American institutions and individuals interested in improving their teaching competencies. This paper describes the experiences of three consecutive online cohorts of the IEECP regarding the educational and technological decisions that allow the integrations of the CBE, outcomes assessment and learning plans into the Moodle LMS. This paper describes Moodle features to support competencies, outcomes assessments, learning plans, its configuration and contribution in the context of the IEECP. It also highlights evidence about the aforementioned innovations impact on teaching practices, learning model and student active role in the learning process. This article is intended to serve as a reference for those institutions and program managers interested in integrating the CBE approach of their online training programs in their Moodle LMS.
