Do Learners earn certificates or get transcripts?
Edovo provides incarcerated people with access to over 25K hours of academic, vocational, and self-improvement programming. This programming has been vetted and built for corrections. We offer 4 main types of content:
- Courses: An interactive resource with a focused learning objective and mechanism through which a Learner can demonstrate learning. Completing Courses will earn a Learner a certificate and be listed on the Learner's transcript. We have about 700 robust courses on the platform.
- Interactive & Learning Resources: Content that a Learner can revisit and review as needed. Examples include Reentry resources, practice materials, documentaries, newsletters, facility notices, and learning activities. Completing resources will not provide a certificate but will soon be listed on a Learner's transcript. We have thousands of resources on the platform ranging from practice tests to documentaries and podcast episodes to books.
- Assessments: Used to check progress and placement for a future test or a supplement to current classroom learning
- Surveys: Use a survey to easily gather information from Learners
Courses are the most comprehensive content item on the platform. Completing courses earns a Learner a certificate and placement on the first page of a Learner's transcript. Typically, we only see time in courses being used toward any type of earned time credit or sentence reduction. This would be our recommendation. (Note: A certificate is a standard one-page document that shares the Learner's name, course name, and the date. A Transcript is almost like a Learner's report card - it shows a comprehensive report of a Learner's time)
Interactive and Learning Resources are supplemental learning. Completing a resource does not provide the learner with a certificate, but is listed on a transcript as supplemental learning time. We value time in resources; some resources can be life-changing to an individual, so while we don't recommend offering credit for them, we recognize that some learners may defend why a particular Resource was meaningful or changed them; and it's worth taking that into consideration.
