WLDN 2050 - Developing a Prior Learning Portfolio (5 credits)
5 credits
Learning takes place in a variety of settings, not simply in a classroom. On-the-job experience, volunteer work, corporate training, military service, and rigorous independent study provide opportunities for authentic learning that often equates to college-level, academic credit. In this course, students align their prior learning with current Walden University course and program outcomes. Students design an academic work product in the form of a portfolio to demonstrate mastery of academically relevant, college-level learning. They have the option to submit this portfolio for credit consideration toward an undergraduate degree.
