Mobility and Accessibility: What We Are Learning from Existing Efforts

There is a global trend toward equitable and accessible pathways to meaningful credentials and recognition of non-traditional learning. This is evidenced by increased interest from funders, a proliferation of providers, and public pressure to decrease costs and increase higher education ROI. We examine tools, projects and initiatives that are effecting large-scale change in education, gaps in this work, and discuss a promising model to support continued programs: a qualifications framework.

First Learning Outcome: An overview of the dynamic and fast-evolving US learner mobility conversation 

Second Learning Outcome: An understanding of what a qualification framework is (and is not)

Third Learning Outcome: An understanding of how a qualifications framework can further efforts for equitable learning mobility
