What skills, knowledge and abilities do students develop as they navigate through college? And how can colleges equip graduates to understand and explain their capabilities to employers and others?
This week’s episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed’s news and analysis podcast, examines those questions, in part by exploring one university's effort to create a better, richer record of a student's learning.
Insiya Bream, assistant vice provost for data and systems at the University of Maryland Global Campus, discusses the “comprehensive learner record” it has created to help its M.B.A. students better capture and describe the full range of competencies and learnings they’ve developed throughout their educational experience at the institution. And Matthew Pittinsky, CEO of Parchment, describes why a “better transcript” -- often discussed in the context of professionally focused learning like at UMGC -- could actually help liberal arts institutions make their case for the value of what they do.
