The Benefits of Recognizing Prior Informal and Non-formal Learning

Grażyna Voss



Abstract

Learning and education are widely discussed topics, naturally focusing the attention of business, academia, and potential higher education students. Recognition of prior non-formal and informal learning is a concept that was introduced into higher education in 2015. Although it has to be embraced by the academic community and institutions in the first place, involving an awareness as well as practical implementation of enabling mechanisms, is it is arguably the most relevant to potential students. It is realized today that recognition of prior learning may bring most benefits to those professionally active, creating new educational opportunities that they could use to increase their chances of remaining in employment. A market research project has helped assess the likely benefits for all stakeholders in the validation and recognition process - universities, employers, and potential students.(original abstract)
