In ASU News: the design work behind stackable pathways

People at a desk with laptops.

ASU News reports on how Arizona State University is redesigning the structure of learning for an AI-enabled economy. Patrick Rossol-Allison, associate vice president for strategic partnerships and enterprise collaboration at ASU’s Learning Enterprise, describes the credentialing framework now taking shape and what changes when prior learning carries a person forward instead of starting them over.

The question underneath the story is one the Learning Enterprise works on every day. A learner finishes a course, earns a credential, comes back three years later for something else. What has to be true structurally for those three moments to add up to a career instead of three separate starts.

The ASU News piece covers the framework being built to answer that, and what ASU for Life surfaced in its first months about how learners think about their own progress. Rossol-Allison’s explains further in the story.

For partners, funders and schools already working with ASU Learning Enterprise, this is the evolving design layer sitting behind the programs.
