Description
The papers in this ebook seek to profile quality Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) research that engages specifically with issues around workplace learning. Emanating from a range of national contexts, they engage with these topics in different ways: one paper identifies different logics undergirding RPL and work-based learning research and practice; another researches and creates a unifying analytical framework through which to conceptualise and develop ePortfolios in RPL and workplace learning; a further paper reports on an investigation into what prior learning should/could be valued as 'college level' recommending a focus on learning that demonstrates the capacity to bring about changes and improvements in workplaces. Two papers focus on recognising workplace learning through RPL in higher education programmes, one in terms of assessor-learner relationships and the other in the curriculum and pedagogy of professional doctorat#es.
