CAEL is pleased to announce the release of this revised edition
of Whitaker’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.

Principles are shown to have:
