Using a roundtable format for interactive and open dialogue, Mark McConahay from AACRAO and Kelly Hoyland from IMS Global Learning Consortium, will guide a facilitated conversation around several central points relating to the academic transcript:
- How can digital credentials such as the CLR allow educators to respond and adapt to new student enrollment patterns?
- What are the transfer frictions you and your students experience, and how could digital credentials/micro-credentials reduce or transform that friction?
- How can digital credentials create value for both institutions and learners?
- What models are needed to collaborate across campus?
- Where are the challenges and opportunities that will shape this process?
- The discussion leaders will be taking care to hear and understand the community's needs and address the ways that comprehensive learner record programs and the CLR open standard can rise to the challenges outlined.
Background on CLR
The Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) rethinks the fundamental educational record. A CLR is a verifiable digital record containing and communicating all types of learning achievements and skills attained throughout a learner's educational journey—whenever and wherever.
The CLR provides institutions an incredible opportunity to focus on equipping students with new forms of records whose access is controlled by the learner to leverage employment or further education opportunities.
In September 2019, IMS Global Learning Consortium, a non-profit collaborative for learning data standards, released the first and only data standard for a CLR.
An AACRAO-issued report concluded that the CLR standard from IMS is the only comprehensive data standard in place today that meets the objectives of an official institutional learning-focused and comprehensive learner record.
