What is a Comprehensive Learner Record?
A CLR is a richer, verifiable alternative to the academic transcript. It aggregates a learner’s achievements, including skills and co-curricular activities, into a standardized, signed record.
Why CLRs matter
A CLR captures the skills employers actually care about, in a portable and verifiable format that travels with the learner beyond a single institution.
How a CLR works
The institution aggregates achievements into a standardized, digitally signed record following the 1EdTech CLR standard, which the learner can share and a recipient can verify.
CLR vs transcript
A transcript lists courses and grades. A CLR adds competencies, skills, and co-curricular evidence in a verifiable format, a fuller picture of what a learner knows and can do.
