Institutions of higher learning are providing access to free and
low-cost open resources to support students with prior
college-level learning during every step of their educational
journey. This unconventional approach to education removes
traditional barriers to college credit by placing learners in an
open environment, which encourages accessibility to higher
education and fosters independent and critical thinking. By
providing learners with free resources, more learners have the
resources needed to be successful in college. Prior learning
assessment is an excellent way for students to demonstrate the
skills and knowledge gained throughout the course of their lives.
By developing a portfolio of artifacts that support prior learning
outside of the classroom, learners reduce the time and money needed
to complete a degree. Open educational resources, prior learning
assessment, and competency-based learning offer the potential to
provide access to higher education to those who may not have the
opportunity to earn a college degree. As the costs of higher
education continue to rise, these flexible, open approaches to
learning can bridge the equity gap and provide more opportunity to
earn a college degree. Enhancing Higher Education Accessibility
Through Open Education and Prior Learning provides a comprehensive
resource book on open resources and prior learning in order to
provide access and equity to higher education. The chapters pull
together resources and case studies that exemplify alternative
means to higher education. Highlighted topics within this book
include remote e-learning, online fundraising, smart learning and
assessments, effective learning, and faculty mentorship. This book
is essential for curriculum designers; administrators;
policymakers; government executives; professors and instructors in
higher education; students; researchers in adult education,
competency-based education, social justice, and open educational
resources; and practitioners interested in open educational
resources and accessibility in higher education.
