Abstract:

Credit mobility is a key element of today's higher education systems and has the potential to facilitate flexible, inclusive and learner centred pathways across institutions and nations. This is a review paper that views credit mobility as an educational infrastructure and explores how it can contribute to global transfer pathways via Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) and alternative credit. It draws on the literature on credit systems and recognition mechanisms as well as new approaches like competency-based education and digital learning environments.
