Operations addresses ways in which institutions are able to provide and maintain learning recognition options for students, including the business model, staffing, marketing and website, and technology solutions.

Learner Supports

Learner outreach and supports are essential for learner success. Outreach includes area such as: marketing, recruitment, websites, information sessions, etc. Learner supports include areas such as: advising, credential and career planning, academic services, completing learning assessments, etc.

Academic Integration

The usability of the learning recognition outcomes is critical. If the outcomes are for credit, they need to be integrated into academic programs and credentials. If the outcomes are for non-academic credentials, they need to be formally designated so learners can use them for employment and continuing their education.
