Types of Prior Learning Assessment • Standardized tests • Portfolios • Course challenges • Crosswalks
Standardized Tests • Infrastucture in place • Low cost to institution • No (additional) cost to student
Portfolio • Infrastructure fairly complicated • Significant cost to institution: class instructor & assessor • Significant cost to student: class & transcription
Course challenge • Infrastructure still fairly complicated • Cost to institution: (designer and) assessor • Cost to student: “Class” and transcription
Crosswalks • Infrastructure becomes simple once crosswalks are in place • Low cost to institution • Low cost to student: transcription
