Portfolio Development - GEN 110
What is a Portfolio?
A collection of documents consisting of a resume, summary of college course work, chronology (listing of significant dates), autobiography, technical/professional training, and lifelearning essays. How is Credit Awarded?
To petition for prior learning credit students must complete a two-credit-hour course entitled "Portfolio Development for Assessment of Prior Learning - GEN 110." A letter grade is assigned for the course. The sections of the portfolio that include documented training and life learning essays are reviewed for additional credit. How Many Credits May Be Earned?
Essays and training may be reviewed for up to 28 semester credits. Each life learning essay may be evaluated for up to three credits. There is no limit to the number of essays written within
the maximum number of credits allowed. Credits awarded for training are based on the number
of clock hours or Continuing Education Units (CEU's). Also, required is a statement of what was
learned in the training.

Why a Portfolio?
Malone College recognizes that not all learning takes place in the college classroom. There are two types of prior learning that may be awarded for college credit: 1. Learning through work, home, community, and other environments. 2. Learning from professional and technical training.  Joyce Thompson, MA.Ed.
