- Implementing a Comprehensive Learner Record
Dr. Tom Green – AACRAO
You’ve seen a few versions of a Comprehensive Learner Record from other higher education institutions. Your institution has interwoven high impact practices into the fabric of the learner experience; you just don’t credential those today. All this excites you (because you know that students and employers will love it) but hesitant (because you have no idea what it will take to create this). If you are interested in moving from the labyrinth of talking about what it might be like to build something, to the action of implementing a CLR, this is the session for you. Hear from Dr. Tom Green, Associate Executive Director of Consulting and SEM at AACRAO on what to do next if the CLR is a discussion that you want to turn into action.

- How We Developed Our Comprehensive Learner Record and What We're Going to Do with it Next!
Bhavesh Bambhrolia – Temple University
Dr. Rodney Parks – Elon University
Insiya Bream – University of Maryland Global Campus
Dr. Erin Seheult – Loma Linda University
It has been a discussion for years. The traditional transcript is limited in what it can do for a learner. It’s a great start, but it struggles to holistically represent a learner’s education for self-reflection, to allow a learner to tell their own story, or for employers to understand workforce ready skills that were learned during a learner’s academic career. Hear from a group of leading institutions that are launching CLRs in 2021 about why they invested in CLRs, their expected outcomes, and what happens after launch.
- 12:00 - 12:45
