Capturing learning is about documenting and making visible the growth, understanding, and development of learners. Our partner organizations use various systems—from student portfolios and dashboards to goal-setting protocols and rubrics—to ensure that learning doesn't go unnoticed.
Creating structures and tools that make learning visible—portfolios, dashboards, and learner profiles that tell the full story of learner growth.
Implementing regular practices where learners set learning goals, track progress, and reflect on their development over time.
Developing rubrics, competency frameworks, and assessment tools that capture not just academic knowledge but whole-learner outcomes.
