As the New Year begins, I wanted to share a webinar that I had the honor of co-hosting with Jordan Schwartz from Greenlight Education. It's all about Executive Function Disorder, tips to manage it and so much more. If you're interested in learning more about what Executive Function Disorder is and how to improve your executive functioning skills, then this is the free webinar for you. I hope you'll give it a watch!

In this episode, we sit down with Eugene So, Managing Director of Lifelong Learning at Jobs for the Future to talk about how higher education is innovating to meet the needs of learners along the education-career continuum. Listen in as we discuss the shortcomings of the current higher education model, emerging conversations around a skills-first philosophy, and how learners as well as learning providers can navigate this change to be future-ready. https://wi.st/491VzeU

Awesome short (15m) interview about a forthcoming update report to 2019 AACRAO research on #CPL, #PLA, #PLAR #RPL, #VPL (pick your acronym), focused on messy #portfolio approaches. This is just Credit for Prior Learning, which I find a bit narrow, even within an academic context (lots of other purposes for recognition)... ...but there's lots of great stuff and I can't wait for the report. The big TIL for me is Jon Calderwood's suggestion about actually developing and credentialing faculty in their roles as Advisors and Assessors for #RPL. They're far and away the key actors in HE, but currently, over 60% have no formal training. Jon suggests that insitutions could start reporting faculty PD as a KPI for academic quality to accreditors. I suggest that accreditors could start asking for it... 8-> Food for thought for the upcoming #VPLBiennale in Ireland and for us up here in Canada, as #CAPLA, Canada's counterpart to CAEL, prepares for a pan-Canadian scan of PD for #RPL. NB: Andy Brown, Bonnie Kennedy and others on the Credentialing and Certification committee. Finally, kudos to Noah Geisel for his ongoing role as a tireless whisperer for #alternativecredentials #digitalbadges #openbadges. Now with #PLA. Will Jon be at the The Badge Summit @ CU Boulder, I wonder?

Continuing the discussion on an international perspective.

Thanks, Juan, to you and to OCULL for your leadership in this important and rapidly evolving space. I am looking forward to Jim Fong’s session!
