Earn College Credit for What You Know is written to help adult students prepare to earn college credit for their lifelong learning through the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process.  Colleges and universities use the terms Prior Learning Assessment and the Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) to describe the process of earning college credit for learning acquired through work, training, volunteer experiences, and personal life.  PLA helps students determine what they already know and what they still need to learn through classes; it recognizes that adults bring their personal and professional experiences to the classroom and that learning is a lifelong activity.

This book, a publication of The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), www.cael.org, provides stories about adults who have returned to college and used their rich learning experiences to earn college credits toward their degrees.
