APL: The recognition and accreditation of prior or previous learning

The recognition of prior learning (RPL) and its assessment (APL) offers important challenges to institutions in the context of Higher Education, and specifically to staff charged with the responsibility to develop, implement and assure the quality of APL arrangements.  SEEC's AP(E)L Network Group, established in 1992, is an important forum for the sharing and further development of APL practice, including for the assessment and accreditation of previous experiential learning (APEL). Go to the Online Discussion Groups section to access the JISC SEECAPL group.
