This course is an introduction to prior learning assessment. It examines adult life experiences as a foundation for experiential learning. By reflecting on the concepts of adult development theories and an individual's personal life experiences, the course will explore how those factors influence and help individuals to interpret life situations and circumstances in terms of job skills, and college level learning. Attention will be given to the development of a prior learning portfolio and assessment of prior learning, enabling students to earn college-level credit for college level life learning.
