Learning Outcomes, Academic Credit, and Student Mobility assesses the conceptual foundations, assumptions, and implications of using learning outcomes for the purposes of postsecondary credit transfer and student mobility. Through a critical review of current approaches to the use of learning outcomes across national and international jurisdictions, scholars and practitioners in postsecondary education provide a multivalent examination of their potential impacts in the unique context of Ontario and recommend future directions for the system. The collected works are the culmination of a multi-year study entitled Learning Outcomes for Transfer, funded by the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer. Contributions are authored by prominent international scholars across countries with significant outcomes-based experience and education reforms (South Africa, the United States, Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom) and an Ontario research consortium comprising college and university experts working to advance student pathways. 410 0$aQueen's policy studies. 606 $aCompetency-based education 606 $aSchool credits 606 $aStudents, Transfer of 615 0$aCompetency-based education. 615 0$aSchool credits. 615 0$aStudents, Transfer of. 676 $a379.155 700 $aArnold$b Christine$01660884 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812510403321 996 $aLearning outcomes, academic credit, and student mobility$94016430 997 $aUNINA
