Take your learning outcomes data further with a student-first skills record 

Institutions invest years building rigorous outcomes frameworks, mapping curricula, and collecting assessment evidence. Learning Journey puts that work directly in your students' hands - as a verified, portable record of what they've actually learned and can do. 

 

Students graduate with more than a transcript. They leave with documented evidence of competency, tied to the same institutional standards you report to accreditors.

Offer a living, shareable record

Learning Journey automatically generates a personalized CLR the student can curate, share, and take with them, verified by your institution and trusted by employers.

Three ways to launch your CLR

There’s no “right way” to launch a CLR initiative. Learning Journey was designed to adapt to your institution' s current processes and readiness, so you can scale as your strategy matures.

Assessment-Based

Competencies are awarded based on demonstrated evidence of learning, validated through faculty-reviewed assessment data and curriculum maps. Every credential traces back to a specific outcome and the evidence behind it.

Completion-Based

Competencies are awarded when students complete mapped courses or co-curricular activities. This is a faster path to launch that doesn’t require proficiency-level assessment data and still produces a meaningful, institution-verified record.

Hybrid

Apply assessment-based credentialing where your evidence infrastructure is strongest and completion-based recognition elsewhere. Institutions can run both simultaneously and transition over time as frameworks and programs mature.

What do students get with CLR?

Learning Journey gives every student a complete, verified, and shareable picture of what they have learned–not just a transcript full of completed courses.

Institution-backed

Every competency in a student's Learning Journey connects to faculty-validated evidence of learning your institution can stand behind. The record carries the institution’s authority, not just the student’s word.

A complete record of learning

Curricular achievement, co-curricular experiences , internships, capstones, research, and service learning all live in a single institution-issued record, ensuring nothing a student has earned gets left behind.

Personalized storytelling

Students can curate shareable portfolios that blend academic and experiential learning to fit specific applications, like job interviews or certifications. Learning Journey enables students to add personal activities, accomplishments, or learning experiences that contribute to their unique story.

Achievements that travel

Learning Journey meets the 1EdTech CLR 2.0 standard, which ensures student achievements are portable, independently verifiable, and structured in a way employers and graduate programs can trust.

DIGITAL BADGES

Recognize achievement at every milestone

Complement Learning Journey with digital badges that validate skills earned through coursework and co-curricular experiences. Badges give students a portable, shareable credential the moment it's earned, while offering a visible signal of program quality that travels beyond your campus. HelioCampus digital badges are Open Badges 2.0 certified, meaning every badge is structured to a recognized interoperability standard and can be verified, shared, and recognized independently of our platform.

From Outcomes to Opportunity: Scaling Digital Credentials that Matter

Learning Journey powers the University of Georgia’s CLR (Comprehensive Learner Record) , which launched institution-wide at fall 2025 orientation. Several years of planning and faculty governance ensured six institutional competencies could be tracked, verified, and promoted by students.

23,000+ students with at least one institutional competency recorded
2,000+ courses mapped to at least one competency
28,000+ students enrolled in a CLR-tagged course
“Unlike that academic transcript, the CLR has a holistic view around it. It's validated, and it's a record of skills that matter most in the job market.”
Marisa Pagnattaro
Vice President for Instruction and Senior Vice Provost for Academic Planning, University of Georgia

Every student deserves a record that helps them speak for what they know.

Learning Journey helps students draw connections between their learning experiences across campus today and their potential workforce opportunities tomorrow.

FAQs


A Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) is a verified, portable digital record of a student's skills, achievements, and competencies that goes beyond a traditional academic transcript. Unlike a transcript, which records courses and grades, a CLR documents what a student has learned and accomplished, mapped to specific competencies recognized by employers and graduate programs. CLRs follow the 1EdTech CLR standard, making them machine-readable and verifiable across institutions and platforms.


CLR 2.0 is the current interoperability standard for Comprehensive Learner Records, published by 1EdTech (formerly IMS Global). CLR 2.0 certification means a student's record is structured and portable in a way that meets this standard — so achievements can be verified independently of HelioCampus by employers, graduate programs, or other institutions. HelioCampus Learning Journey is CLR 2.0 certified.


A transcript records courses, grades, and credit hours. Learning Journey records the specific skills, competencies, and program learning outcomes a student has actually demonstrated, verified through the institution's assessment practices. Where a transcript shows a student completed a course, Learning Journey by HelioCampus shows which competencies they mastered, how those were assessed, and how those skills map to roles in the workforce.


Learning Journey isn’t a separate system. It’s an extension of the outcomes framework you already maintain. This means your CLR and evidence needed for reaccreditation are drawing from the same source of truth.. When an accreditor asks for evidence of student learning at the program level, Learning Journey can be used to demonstrate a pathway from outcome framework to student-level evidence in support of workforce readiness.


Institutions must purchase HelioCampus Outcomes Assessment and add on our Credentialing package to launch Learning Journey as their CLR platform. From there, institutions have options to launch their CLR initiative through completion-based records (skills awarded based on course or activity completion), assessment-based records (skills awarded based on verified proficiency evidence via curriculum maps), or a hybrid of both.


Digital badges are verifiable, portable credentials that recognize specific skills or achievements- earned through coursework, co-curricular experiences, or program milestones. Unlike a line on a transcript, a badge carries embedded metadata that shows what was earned, what it required, and who issued it. Students can share badges directly to LinkedIn or other platforms, and anyone who receives them can verify their authenticity independently.


Open Badges 2.0 is an interoperability standard for digital credentials, maintained by 1EdTech. Certification means badges issued through HelioCampus are structured to this standard- making them portable, machine-readable, and verifiable outside of our platform. Employers, graduate programs, and other institutions can independently confirm a badge's validity without needing access to HelioCampus.
