Partner Work

Learn how AACRAO is partnering with Credential Engine to lead the work in leveraging AI and open data to translate courses, transcripts, and non-degree credentials into structured skill profiles that are matched to jobs. These profiles are machine-readable, portable, and show what people know, so that they can get the most value out of skills gained in college and beyond.

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.
