During the second semester of 2020, we collected students’ self-reports oftime-on-task to identify peaks of academic workload in specific weeks and subjects.

By extension, one is meant toassume that a learner with an “A” knows the material at a higher level than a learner who earneda “C” in the same class. In contrast, competency-based education is based on the belief thatactual competency in the specified area is more important than students completing the samecontent within the same amount of time. While not all digital badges are based on a competencymodel of education (e.g. some are awarded for participation) many are.

As the factor analysis results from the ECTD beta Aand B versions were not the desired model that can reflect the five computational thinkingfactors, there was a need for another round of revisions.Instead of designing two compatible versions A and B, the 30 items from the beta versions of theECTD were revisited for reanalyzes of content and face validity.

Respondents stated they did not enjoy the onlinecourses but felt like the online teaching was successful. In response to the perception of adaptation,respondents identified that they and their faculty adapted, with faculty to a lesser extent. Thus,students' perceptions reflect they are comfortable in an online learning environment but do notprefer it. The responses also indicate that students perceive that they may be better in the onlineenvironment and adapting to it than their faculty. This might be an expected outcome as facultyare older and perceived as slightly less capable of technology and adaptability
