AACRAO serves as one of the original members of the USQF Advisory Council. Established in May 2022, this council oversees the design and development of a proposed national qualifications framework to serve the interests of US learners, qualification holders, educators, employers, licensing bodies, policymakers, and related stakeholders.
AACRAO believes the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is a key piece of infrastructure that supports global mobility and that having a leveled framework applied to the US credential landscape could help those outside the US better understand the diversity of the US system and create more accessible pathways for a wider array of learners.
Learning Mobility: Empowering Educational Journeys Beyond Traditional Pathways
This book is the first comprehensive exploration of learning mobility in U.S. higher education. It emerges from a dynamic collaboration among scholars, practitioners, and policy experts who are reimagining recognition, validation, and credentialing practices to better reflect the realities of today’s learners. With AACRAO’s longstanding commitment to innovation in academic records, credentials, and student success, we proudly offer this resource free to our members as a catalyst for institutional transformation.
As learners navigate increasingly complex, non-linear educational journeys that often span multiple institutions, life experiences, and learning environments, traditional models of credit recognition fall short. Learning Mobility offers a compelling alternative: one that centers learners, values their full range of knowledge and experience, and builds efficient pathways through higher education. We invite you to explore the insights and strategies presented in this volume and join us in creating a more effective, future-ready educational system.
