PDP as part of the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategic Framework Stephen Hill and Phil Gravestock

HE Achievement Report By academic year 2010/11, following a period of detailed development, a Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) will be the central vehicle for recording all university-level undergraduate higher education student achievement in all UK higher education institutions.

HE Achievement Report The HEAR will be a single document, based on, and developed from, the current academic transcript, and incorporating the European Diploma Supplement. It will contain a wider range of information than the current academic transcript and will capture more fully than now the strengths and weaknesses of the student’s performance. It will also contain information about academic credit, which will link directly to the national credit framework for the part of the UK in which the award is made. Core content will be common to all institutions, which will be free to add additional information as they see fit.

HE Achievement Report The HEAR will contain information which the institution is prepared to verify. Further work should be done on how to measure and record skills and achievements gained through non- formal learning but this, along with other student-generated/driven information, should be part of Personal Development Planning (PDP).
