| Prior Learning Portfolios: A Representative Collection is a valuable reference tool for PLA assessors, administrators and PLA instructors, and can help train both faculty and students to understand portfolio assessment. Designed to provide you with institutional policies and procedures regarding prior learning portfolios, this text and accompanying CD-ROM contain thirteen sample portfolios from eleven different institutions, handbooks, guidelines, flow charts, and information about the location of portfolio assessment in the context of a degree. Assessment via portfolio is most often used by the nontraditional adult learner who can display experiential learning gained from jobs, travel, community service, leisure activities, and other sources. But documenting this learning, and assessing it, can be challenging. Prior Learning Portfolios: A Representative Collection can help you go beyond the theory and put prior learning assessment into practice for your adult learners.

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
