Types of Prior Learning Assessment

This article examines various models of Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), including standardized tests, portfolios, course challenges, and crosswalks. Each model has different implications for both educational institutions and students, particularly regarding infrastructure and cost. Standardized tests, while straightforward, can incur costs for institutions and students alike. Portfolios and course challenges, while potentially complex, offer personalized assessment options. Crosswalks simplify infrastructure demands and may reduce costs, benefiting both institutions and learners. Understanding these elements is crucial for effective PLA implementation.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Types of Prior Learning Assessment • Standardized tests • Portfolios • Course challenges • Crosswalks

  2. Standardized Tests • Infrastucture in place • Low cost to institution • No (additional) cost to student

  3. Portfolio • Infrastructure fairly complicated • Significant cost to institution: class instructor & assessor • Significant cost to student: class & transcription

  4. Course challenge • Infrastructure still fairly complicated • Cost to institution: (designer and) assessor • Cost to student: “Class” and transcription

  5. Crosswalks

  6. Crosswalks

  7. Crosswalks • Infrastructure becomes simple once crosswalks are in place • Low cost to institution • Low cost to student: transcription

  8. Prior Learning Assessment Models
