Designing a Comprehensive Learner Record Logic Model for Lifelong Learning
With an opportunity to improve and innovate student learning outcomes simultaneously, Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) is an interoperable achievement hub that reinforces that learning happens everywhere with verified evidence of student learning from course, co-curricular engagements, student employment, and even student self-identified experiences. CLR makes achievements explicit and meaningful for institutions, students, and employers.
Stakeholders who use CLR as a vehicle for learning in real-time and an ecosystem of skills that employers value are providing valuable opportunities to share knowledge, skills, and abilities with a greater audience.
Brunch & Learn—Leveraging Your LMS Data to Simultaneously Support Student Learning Outcomes Assessment & Skills-Based Learning
Across the country, higher ed leaders are keenly focused on gathering improvement data to quantify student learning and key performance indicators of effectiveness (e.g. retention, progression, graduation, employability). These leaders gravitate toward practical solutions to support their institutional effectiveness reporting. In doing so, they don’t want to reinvent the wheel, rather access data that is already available in their Learning Management System. Learn how academic leaders are empowering their faculty with more meaningful data from LMS direct assessment activities using AEFIS integrated solutions. Success stories highlight the advantage of interoperability standards to enable automaticity of assignment data to AEFIS end to end solution for flexible curriculum alignment, robust assessment collections and reporting, and Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR).

Innovative Approaches to Adapting VALUE Rubrics to Foster Learner Feedback in High-Impact Practices
Providing clear feedback is a known contributor to positively impacting student achievement. Yet, finding the right instruments and processes to give quality feedback in real-time can be daunting. Learn from assessment professionals from Thomas Jefferson University and Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC) who have designed and digitized processes at their institutions, to quantify qualitative assessment across disciplines. A common component of these assessment practices is the use of AAC&U VALUE Rubrics. As a launching point, VALUE Rubrics served to delineate relevant criteria for use in assessing high-impact practices (HIPs) and reflective processes in multiple disciplines and across platforms.

Comprehensive Learner Record: Empowering Embedded Assessment of Competency to Determine Student Readiness for Real-World Problems
Recognizing a preparation-to-practice gap, professional organizations called for a transformation from traditional lecture-based learning, focused on learning concepts, to experiential learning emphasizing competencies. American Association for Colleges of Nursing shared their 2019 vision on how nursing education needs to improve the quality of patient care, requiring a profound pivot in assessing and reporting learning outcomes. Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) provides a holistic approach to assessment that tracks the achievement of competencies across learners’ experiences. In this session, learn about CLR in assessment and how the University of Rochester School of Nursing developed CLR while shifting to a competency-based curriculum during COVID-19.
