Receiving credit for learning using OpenCourseWare through the use of an e-portfolio of their work
Allison Miller
State College is doing some research regarding the credentialing
possibilities that exist for individuals who wish to receive credit
for learning they achieve using OpenCourseWare.
(For those who are not familiar with OpenCourseWare, here is a link to
the OpenCourseWare Consortium http://www.ocwconsortium.org/ <http://
www.ocwconsortium.org/>)
Ellen would like you to take just a minute or so to answer the
following questions regarding potential credentialing offered at your
institution by emailing her Ellen....@esc.edu.
We would also love you to share any responses on this forum too.
Please imagine that an individual is studying the courses/subjects
offered though the OpenCourseWare Consortium, and as they are going
through their studies they are building an ePortfolio of their work,
which includes artifacts of learning, blog postings and reflections on
their work, etc. Please imagine that they are completing all of the
recommended assignments as outlined in the OpenCourse.
1. Is it possible for a student to earn credit for studies done in
this manner?
2. Does this individual need to be matriculated (enrolled) in your
college in order to receive credit for their studies?
3. If your answer to question #2 was "No": can they earn credit on a
course by course basis? And if so, what is the cost, and can they
receive a transcript for transfer of credit?
4. If your answer to question #2 is "Yes": Is the credit given through
an Assessment of Prior Learning, and is that credit transferrable to
other institutions or must they use it to complete a degree at your
institution? Also, what is the cost?
5. If your institution accepts credits via Assessment of Prior
Learning and/or Credit by Evaluation, what are total number of credits
a student can receive (have accepted) towards a degree program?
6. Can a student at your institution go through OpenCourseWare courses
as Independent Studies, and if so is that study treated any
differently than a typical course at your institution?
