Dear ALADIN community, In this ALADIN Online Alert, I would like to highlight various articles exploring prior learning assessment. Topics include: recognition of non-formal education in higher education; making learning visible (a UNESCO position paper); recognizing the competencies of Syrian refugees; recognition, validation and accreditation as a foundation of lifelong learning; documenting informal learning to support job mobility.
