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

By Morry Fiddler, Catherine Marienau, and Urban Whitaker

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.
