Abstract
This product includes a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), which is an evidence-based acceleration and completion strategy to recognize and award credit for college-level learning. The process enables learners to demonstrate what they have learned and translate that learning into college credit. PLA validates knowledge acquired through life, work and/or military experience, civic engagement, individual study and reading, and participation in classes or training sponsored by business and industry, professional organizations,and/ or government agencies. The Student PLA Video, along with the Companion Guide, frames the value of lifelong learning experiences and the potential and value of receiving college credit for these informal learning opportunities. The PLA video (available in 3 resolutions), can be found at http://www.collegetransition.org/PLAvideo.html
