The report synthesizes a Summer 2023 CAEL and The EvoLLLution survey, follow-up conversations, and a 2023 conference roundtable to assess how institutions approach skills- and competency-based program design, outcomes definition, and implementation of CLR or related transcript concepts. It also clarifies how CLRs relate to Learning & Employment Records

In Summer 2023, CAEL (the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning) and The EvoLLLution conducted a survey of CAEL higher education members and The EvoLLLution subscribers to investigate the extent to which their institutions are considering CLR implementation, and whether they are taking steps to reconceptualize their courses and credentials in terms of skills or competencies rather than credit hours. Follow-up conversations with select CAEL members who are taking steps to move towards skill-based credentialing models and an informal information-gathering roundtable at the 2023 CAEL Conference in November further informed the study.  \nThis report summarizes:  \nThe extent to which the responding institutions have identified a need to design educational programs around well-defined skills and competencies  \nThe extent to which these institutions have started to define their course and program outcomes in terms of skills and competencies  \nWhether the institutions have started to implement (or lay the groundwork for) skills or competency-based transcripts or comprehensive learner records.  \n4 | Comprehensive Learner Records 2024  \nKey Insights:  \nMore support needed  \nto help institutions adopt competency-based approaches.  \nLone champions are not enough  \nInstitutions need more than just one or two champions to ensure momentum.  \nCLRs are an equity strategy  \nCL Rs support learners by recognizing learning from all sources and acknowledging diverse pathways to a credential.  \nCPL crosswalks provide entry  \nfor institutions to gain initial acceptance among internal stakeholders.  \nEngagement across the organization is key  \nInstitutions need models  \nInstitutions are eager to access successful models and implementation practices.  \nIntroduction | 5  \nWhat are Learning & Employment Records (LERs)?  \nAlthough CLRs and LERs are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a difference.  \nLERs are defined by the T3 Innovation Networks (a project sponsored by the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation) as a digital record that documents learning “wherever it occurs, including at the workplace or through an education experience, credentialing, or military training. It can also include information about employment history and earnings.”According to the AACRAO definition, LERs contain “verifiable information about a person’s achievements spanning an inclusive range of contexts to include the CLR, the higher education component of the LER.” Therefore, while the underlying philosophy of portable and interoperable digital records is the same, CLRs are centered on the skills and competencies related to a learner’s academic career (including prior learning, military learning, and experiential learning), ","cbCaieoZo7mltlCu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieoZo7mltlCu","pdf",2779166,26,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n## What are Learning & Employment Records (LERs)?\n# Methodology\n# Key Findings\n## Identifying a Need to Develop Skills and Competencies\n## Establishing a Framework\n# Implementing CLRs\n# Key Insights\n# Conclusion\n# About CAEL\n# About Modern Campus\n# About The EvoLLLution","[{\"question\":\"What is a Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) in the report’s framing?\",\"answer\":\"A CLR is described as a verifiable, portable, interoperable digital asset that recognizes all learning and can be shared with employers and updated with new skills.\"},{\"question\":\"How do CLRs relate to Learning \\u0026 Employment Records (LERs)?\",\"answer\":\"The report explains that while both use portable, interoperable digital records, CLRs focus on skills and competencies tied to an academic career, whereas LERs are broader and also document workplace-related progression, including employment history and earnings.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report investigate about institutional adoption of CLRs?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses whether institutions identify a need to design programs around well-defined skills and competencies, whether they define course and program outcomes accordingly, and whether they have begun implementing (or preparing for) skills/competency-based transcripts or comprehensive learner records.\"}]","Comprehensive Learner Records - Empowering Lifelong Learning in the Digital Age | PDF",1792048837,66]
