Higher education is in a state of transformation, undergoing a paradigm shift where evidence that demonstrates students’ learning and competencies are quickly becoming the main currencies that open doorways to successful careers. This transformation is challenging the traditional methods by which colleges and universities capture and record student learning and competency development.
Johns Hopkins University, world-renowned for its academic and research programs, is answering the challenge of skill seekers and lifelong learners through its vision for a Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR). The CLR will provide learners with a portable, explicit, and dynamic record of their knowledge, skills, and abilities that is shareable with employers for promotion or new positions that best match their skillsets. The CLR vision expands the focus of assessment to include assessment of learning in any space and any format, including non-credit, non-degree offerings. It also requires the incorporation of learning assessment of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities as complements to curricular learning as well as the assessment of prior learning, a framework by which we can provide a holistic summative and formative depiction of our students’ learning across the continuum from pre-matriculation to post-graduation.
In this session, we tell the story of how a university-wide CLR committee, guided by the provost’s office leadership, utilized Kotter’s 8-Step Process for Leading Change in order to operationalize the Johns Hopkins CLR vision. Participants will be introduced to the conceptualization and implementation process and learn how leaders from the registrar, academic affairs, student affairs, and student services are collaborating to enact the vision and effect cultural change. In addition, participants will view the CLR Dashboard that provides learners with resources needed to connect with advisers, review their skills and organize their learning stories.
