"Digital student records are evolving in ways that more fully document student achievements. One such form is the Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR), a digital asset that helps students both better understand their learning and share a verifiable record of their knowledge and accomplishments.

The CLR shifts attention away from seat-time metrics to richer measures of an individual's abilities."
