Although portfolio requirements depend on the course students are trying to get credit for, students will typically need to compile evidence of their learning – anything from resumes to letters from supervisors – and then write a narrative discussing how their knowledge relates to the class, Tate says. A human resources professional, for example, might talk about how her leadership courses related to those at a university or submit a copy of a handbook she designed. Faculty trained and chosen by CAEL then assess the portfolio. If they approve it, LearningCounts submits a credit recommendation transfer from to the program where the student hopes to get credit. The cost for submitting each additional portfolio – after the first one that is developed during the course – is $125. While that, on top of the course fee, may seem like a significant sum, it can actually allow students to save on education costs.
