Credit Transfer, and Assessing Non-Formal and Informal Learning

CAPLA

This webinar focuses on the use of Credit Transfer, and Assessing Non-Formal and Informal Learning in the RPL Process

Presenter 1: Ji Ae Rhee | Academic Pathways Coordinator/Centennial College D﻿escription: Credit TransferCentennial College&#x27;s transfer credit application and assessment process has been fully online since 2014. In this presentation, we&#x27;ll explore the process that students go through to apply for transfer credit, including how they are informed of the standards and how they can seek advising. We will also examine how faculty members are trained to assess transfer credit, which covers points such as access to the online system and learning outcome comparisons. Throughout the entire process, the College applies policies and procedures that support quality assurance to ensure that assessments are fair and consistent. Presenter 2: Gary McNeely, PhD/Brandon UniversityD﻿escription: Assessing Non-Formal LearningIn this segment of today’s webinar, we will examine one process for assessing non-formal learning. CAPLA defines this as “learning usually offered by a sector, professional group, or a company to deal with specific training needs. [A] formal assessment may or may not be included” {Quality Assurance for the Recognition of Prior Learning in Canada: The Manual, 2015, p. 49}. We will explore different dimensions of this definition by studying a range of examples. We will then follow the assessment process adopted at Brandon University to demonstrate how it addresses CAPLA’s 9 Quality Assurance Principles. The presentation will close with a review of challenges in this endeavor and suggestions for addressing these hurdles. Presenter 3: Anna McBeth , Employment and Bridging Supervisor, Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS)D﻿escription: Assessing Informal LearningISANS has been an advocate in the assessment and recognition of international education and experience for over 40 years. In collaboration with all levels of governments, regulatory and education institutions, we developed effective solutions for immigrants to bridge into the workforce in regulated fields. This presentation will provide information on some of the programs and services and their impact on the labour market and community.
