At Leeds Met we call it APEL
This is taken directly from our regs and would include MOOCs etc.
B9.1.3 Accreditation of Prior Experiential
Learning (APEL)
APEL is the process for assessing, recognising
and/or awarding credit for learning that has
been achieved through experience and/or
training that has not been certificated or
formally assessed.

Subject: Re: Seeking examples of recognition of non-formal, open learning by employers or HE/ Vocational Ed institutions in Europe
This sounds like Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) which a number of institutions pro-actively support. For example, you might want to check out the work Ruth Whittaker does at Glasgow Caledonian University.

Hi everyone
I am working with colleagues at the ILI, Leicester, on a study linked to the EU-funded OpenEdu<http://is.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pages/EAP/OpenEdu.html> project. The aim of the study is to try to identify practices taking place with regard to the recognition of non-formal, open learning, for example a MOOC learner having a certificate or badge recognised by a HE/ Vocational institution or an employer. If anyone knows of any such initiatives or examples anywhere in Europe, I would very much appreciate it if you could reply to me on [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
Any pointers towards reports, blog posts or other mentions of such recognition on the Web will be helpful. We also plan to interview a handful of people (learners, faculty from HE/ vocational education institutions, and employers) over the coming months in order to find out how recognition of non-formal, open learning is happening in practice. Any help in identifying possible interview candidates will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
