8. PLAR
PLAR stands for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition and micro-credentials could serve as a good vehicle to recognizing prior learning, perhaps as a tool or within a portfolio.
PLAR tools include:
- Challenge Exams
- Demonstrations
- Structured Interviews
- Simulations
- Portfolios
PLAR recognizes that learning can be formal, informal, non formal or experiential. Micro-credentials can be formal or informal so there is a possible fit with PLAR
