Feel free to develop your own cross references and index structure. A coherent and reliable system of qualifications, learning recognition and credit transfer
These new modes of access and delivery will have caused us to re-examine ways to measure, recognise and provide credit for learning. Assessment centres, diagnostic and recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) devices, credit transfer arrangements and credit recognition registers will make it easier for learners to build from their knowledge and skills base and will enhance portability of qualifications. NZQA will work with tertiary education organisations and stakeholders to develop and extend the reach of the register of Quality-Assured Qualifications. The Register will become the central and authoritative source of information on qualifications. It will be the basis for the development of improved systems of RPL and credit transfer. It will be important to ensure that the information content of a qualification has integrity in terms of the information it conveys about the learning that has been demonstrated. A proliferation of qualifications that simply reflect the desire of providers to market themselves relative to competitors will be discouraged. « Objective 6 | Index | Strategy 2 » |
