Title	Building a scaffold: assessing experiential learning using open negotiated module templates
Authors	Workman, B. and Thomas Edison State College
Abstract	At the Institute for Work Based Learning most undergraduate and postgraduate students start their programme with an accreditation claim and then negotiate the rest of their programme. Descriptors to guide academic level were in use, but credit volume was determined by academic experience and discretion; the ‘academic alchemy’ of assessment. Negotiated project modules were subsequently devised to aid transparent assessment of experiential learning. This session discussed the implications for staff and claimants.
