IMS CLR Roundtable: Learn & Lead
Recordings and Resources
Learning happens in many ways at our institutions, yet you’d never know it by looking at a traditional student transcript. But never fear...the Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) is here! Designed to digitally capture, record, and communicate all learning whenever and wherever it happens, CLR goes beyond a student transcript. Equip your students with a smarter, authenticated record of their learning to show off as they enter this new economy.
The IMS CLR Roundtable is a monthly open forum for institutional leaders where you will learn from experts so you can lead a successful comprehensive learner records initiative at your institution—from strategy to planning to design to implementation. Meeting topics vary each month so that participants walk away with plenty of lessons learned and best practices.
