CBE programs are becoming more ubiquitous in higher ed, but there is still a lot of gray area around ensuring accountability that experiential knowledge is commensurate with college-level learning. Many are still trying to answer questions like: what’s the best way to award and represent this learning and knowledge? How can we ensure an equitable experience for all students?
Join us to gain a deeper understanding of Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) and how to implement it at your institution. Assessment evens the playing field but must meet quality standards. During this webcast, our expert, Donna Younger, will demonstrate how PLA can address high attrition rates and achievement gaps as well as encourage students to kickstart their success outside the classroom.
Who should attend?
This webcast will appeal particularly to administrators and faculty responsible for developing or overseeing a PLA program, as well as academic advisors or program leaders who work directly with students. This is also a great opportunity for you to gather administrators across departments who are working towards institutional goals of retention and completion.
