ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
A new national report names what a lot of us already know: the way higher education evaluates prior learning was not built for the volume, variety, or complexity of today's learners.
In today's episode, host Dr. Heather Adams sits down with Juana Sánchez, who facilitated the LEARN Commission on behalf of Sova and AACRAO, and Sarah Muller, assistant registrar for transfer credit at The Ohio State University and a LEARN Commissioner. They talk about what the Commission found, what its recommendations look like inside day-to-day work, and what it means to be an agent of change from within your own sphere of influence.
If you've ever had to explain a credit decision and wished your answer could be better, this conversation is for you.
Disclosure: Heather Adams works with Sova, which co-convened the LEARN Commission along with AACRAO. Episode producer Emily Kittrell served as a LEARN Commissioner.
The work of the LEARN Commission is part of the Beyond Transfer initiative and is made possible with the generous support of the Ascendium Education Group.
