Learning Recognition and the Future of Higher Education – A Vision for a Post-Pandemic Learning Ecosystem

This brief is authored by Rebecca Klein-Collins, Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and Nan Travers, SUNY Empire State College and is part of a series of briefs that will be released as part of WICHE’s Recognition of Learning initiative made possible by generous funding from Lumina Foundation and Strada Education Network.

The authors of this brief conducted conversations with several leaders of change within the higher education landscape. Drawing on these conversations, the authors suggest what a future higher education model could – and should – look like in order to reflect the realities of the changing world of work post-COVID while taking advantage of advances in technology-based tools and our growing understanding of how people learn.
