Digital student records are evolving in ways that more fully document student achievements. One such form is the Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR), a digital asset that helps students both better understand their learning and share a verifiable record of their knowledge and accomplishments.
Agile methods and design thinking can be used for more than just software or product development. In higher ed administration, these approaches not only move efforts to the strategic level but also engage staff in new ways and initiate positive cultural change.
A reimagined student record can present a much broader view of students’ activities, accomplishments, and learning, as well as how the different learning experiences intersect and build off of each other.
