Description:  Join us for an interactive discussion of the basic components of  Prior Learning Assessment. This Webinar will provide an overview of PLA, ways in which learning can be assessed for program requirements, and key factors institutions should consider in implementing new or expanding existing PLA programs.

Prior learning assessment (PLA) is the process by which learning acquired outside the traditional academic environment is assessed for college-level credits.

She currently serves on the board for the Prior Learning International Research Centre (PLIRC), serves on the Connecting Credentials working team, and is the founding co-editor of PLA Inside Out: An International Journal on the Theory, Research, and Practice in Prior Learning Assessment (www.plaio.org). Prior to Empire State College, Dr. Travers held a variety of administrative positions at community colleges in Vermont and New Hampshire.
