BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Territorium, a global education technology leader with 9 million users worldwide, today announced that it has partnered with Morgan State University to develop a competency-based Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) and digital wallet that allows students to collect and showcase their educational experiences and social achievements to employers. The partnership is part of the University's broader effort to become a competency-based education model to better meet the educational and professional needs of students, and by complementing its transcript system by going beyond courses, grades, and degrees.
The goal of the CLR is to develop new forms of verifiable learning records with evidence that will include a variety of academic and workplace milestones, including courses, the acquisition of competencies and skills, and achievements in their jobs and internships. Students subsequently will be more empowered to share their skills and qualifications in a more complete way than they could with a résumé and traditional transcript, and better positioned to stand out amongst graduates.
