CAEL is excited to announce the release of the fourth edition
of Earn College Credit for What You Know. Previous editions
sold more than 25,000 copies helping many thousands of
adult learners receive recognition for their learning!
This new edition offers the latest, most current information
on prior learning assessment (PLA) for adult learners, professionals,
evaluators, administrators, faculty, and training managers.
Prior learning assessment is a valid, yet underused, process
of evaluating and recognizing learning that helps adults
to earn credit for knowledge acquired through work, training,
volunteer and union activities, hobbies, and other life experiences.
Important features of this book:
- Convenient and informative question and answer format for
busy working adults
- Exercises for understanding and applying learning theory
- Profiles of adult students and their successful use of
prior learning assessment to complete their degrees
- Explanation of the CAEL standards for quality prior learning
assessment

CAEL is pleased to announce the release of this revised edition
of Whitake's classic; the second edition will be available
from our publisher the end of June 2006. You may place your
order now to receive early pre-publications discounts.
Since CAEL first published Urban Whitaker's book, Assessing
Learning: Standards, Principles, and Procedures, in 1989,
the landscape of higher education and adult learning has changed
dramatically. While respecting the Whitaker framework and
the fundamental principles, authors Morry Fiddler and Catherine
Marienau have added important perspectives and contexts that
bring the assessment of learning to new venues, including
work-based learning and non-credit-based learning. This second
edition provides an updated set of standards for the assessment
of learning and the awarding of credit for learning gained
from experience.
Ten Standards for Assessing Learning
