APL: Developing more flexible colleges

Michael Field focuses on the recent developments that are a result of England's Further and Higher Education Act of 1992, taking as his theme the accreditation of prior learning. The provision by a college of APL, along with the support services needed to ensure its success, can be used as the acid test of whether a college is truly open and accessible to a variety of learners. The book offers valuable advice for staff engaged in transforming their colleges to meet students' needs.
