Synopsis

No. 1 in Amazon Best Sellers Rank, for books dedicated to APEL - 17th September 2013.

Believing higher level learning is created through work and life is still a radical belief in traditional higher education globally. Yet it is a powerful belief that can create new growth opportunities for individuals and higher education institutions alike.

This practical book is for practitioners or leaders in institutions wanting to expand or develop policy or practices for the recognition of prior learning (RPL), accreditation of prior learning (APL) or prior learning assessment (PLA).

This book:
> helps practitioners initiate change
> uses ideas informed by practitioner research
> asks key reflective questions for change.

REVIEW:

"Tony Wall has been in the vanguard of promoting and developing innovative and practical approaches to the formal acknowledgement of prior learning by universities and others for many years. This latest contribution to the field moves the debate - not least about how to extend and broaden access to successful tertiary educational experiences - on yet again."

Professor Emeritus Stuart Billingham, Coordinator of the World Congress SAY Ambassador Programme, Chair of NYBEP, Trustee of UNITE Foundation.
