Prior Learning Assessments

What we do:

We empower education, training, and workforce development experts to assess prior learning and acknowledge individuals' existing knowledge and skills. We streamline the workflows and process for evaluating PLAR ensuring efficiency and accuracy.

Why it matters:

Prior learning and recognition assessments (PLAR) evaluate and acknowledge the skills, knowledge, and abilities a person has acquired through non-traditional learning experiences, such as work experience, self-study, or informal training.

How you succeed:

Our platform enables our customers to accurately evaluate prior learning and recognize and give credit for the learning that individuals have gained outside of formal education settings and facilitate gap training and individual learning pathways.

Develop and maintain rubrics and scoring guides.
Systemize and organize assessment and evidence of learning in dashboards and e-Portfolios.
Conduct direct observations in real or simulated settings with embedded video.
Report outcomes with advanced data analytics and reporting tools.

Successfully passing a certification exam demonstrates a person's expertise and increases their credibility in a specific field. High stakes exams carry significant consequences that can determine important outcomes in a person's academic or professional journey.

Certification & High Stakes Exams

We help our customers deliver high stakes and certification exams with advanced security and proctoring features to guarantee the integrity and validity of the process while promoting fairness and credibility.

Why it matters:

Certification and high stakes exams determine a person's level of knowledge and competence in a particular subject or field. They are used to validate and demonstrate a person's skills and qualifications and involve rigorous preparation and evaluation.

How you succeed:

Learning Record Store (LRS)

What we do:

We recognize the LRS as a critical component of the modern learning ecosystem. We provide a centralized system that seamlessly receives, stores, and returns xAPI statements, capturing diverse learning experiences from various sources. Our LRS not only adheres to the xAPI specification but also integrates with other learning systems, applications, and content, providing a comprehensive approach to learning data management.

Why it matters:

Online courses, mobile apps, real-world activities, experiential learning, and job performance metrics have expanded the landscape of learning experiences. Consolidating and interpreting this diverse data is essential. As a core component of the xAPI ecosystem, an LRS tracks these varied learning experiences. Centralizing this information allows organizations to explore learner behaviors, preferences, and outcomes, guiding informed decisions for upcoming learning strategies.

How you succeed:

With Shift iQ's robust LRS, you can:

Analyze Diverse Data: Harness the power of xAPI to collect data from a myriad of sources, both online and offline.
Enhance Reporting: Utilize built-in visualizations and reporting functions tailored for comprehensive data interpretation.
Leverage Interoperability: Seamlessly integrate with other systems, ensuring a fluid exchange of learning data across platforms.
Ensure Quality: Benefit from an LRS that adheres to xAPI specifications, ensuring data integrity and reliability.
