Based on my past experience, and PLA-200, it seems that portfolio structures are similar even though the subjects might be different. They are similar in these ways:
- They all have a narrative.
- They all have a resume.
- They all have evidence.
Where they may have significant differences is in the types of evidence. As one example, in my PLA-200 course last November, one student was preparing a video to use as evidence in a music course. MOOCs and other non-credit coures are also evidence as are letters of recommendation from supervisors. So the evidence can take different forms. I think it's OK to get creative about the evidence about the prior learning as long as it is truly evidence.
Do you have some idea about the kinds of evidence you want to use?

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
