--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Registrar & Accreditation Liaison (speak, public): To ensure we're on the same page regarding scaling the Prior Learning Assessment process, can we start by discussing the current demand for PLA and the practical review effort required?
[R0.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): The pilot involved 2 campuses and 186 students, with an average of 9.6 credits awarded per student. Our proposed scope for scaling includes 5 programs, with a planned launch in August 2026. I'd like to understand the governing limits on credit awards and documentation requirements before we move forward.
[R0.3] Finance & HR Business Partner (speak, public): To better understand the feasibility of scaling the Prior Learning Assessment process, I'd like to discuss the training effort required for faculty and staff, as well as any systems work that still needs to be done. We've been allocated $300,000 from the workforce innovation fund for FY26, which should cover the costs. Our proposed tooling approach has an incremental license cost of $0, but we'll need to account for a storage increase of 2 TB per year.

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Registrar & Accreditation Liaison (speak, public): To better understand the overall resource footprint for scaling the PLA process, can you both help me understand how the $300,000 allocation from the workforce innovation fund will be utilized? Additionally, what specific training efforts are required for faculty and staff, and what's the status of the systems work that needs to be done?
[R1.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): To address the utilization of the $300,000 allocation, we plan to use it primarily for assessor training and the systems work required to support the scaled PLA process. Our assessor training design involves 6 hours of training, including 2 calibration exercises. In the pilot, we found that assessors spent an average of 3.2 faculty hours per portfolio, with a median turnaround of 12 days. I'd like to understand more about the governing limits on credit awards and any behind-the-scenes compliance exposure we should be aware of as we scale.
[R1.3] Finance & HR Business Partner (speak, public): To better understand the feasibility of scaling the Prior Learning Assessment process, I need to clarify the amount of systems work still required and any hidden quality gates that could impact throughput. I'd also like to understand if there are any external scrutiny or internal control issues that could create unplanned costs or delays. Additionally, I'll share our Year-1 operating cost model to help inform our discussion.

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Registrar & Accreditation Liaison (speak, public): To ensure we're on track with scaling the PLA process, I'd like to summarize what we've discussed so far and clarify a few remaining points. We've established that there's real demand for PLA, with 186 students involved in the pilot and an average of 9.6 credits awarded per student. The proposed scope for scaling includes 5 programs launching in August 2026. We've also discussed the practical review effort required, with assessors spending an average of 3.2 faculty hours per portfolio and a median turnaround of 12 days. The $300,000 allocation from the workforce innovation fund for FY26 will be used primarily for assessor training and systems work. I'd like to confirm the status of the systems work and understand if there are any external scrutiny or internal control issues that could create unplanned costs or delays.
[R2.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): To address the remaining concerns about scaling the PLA process, I'd like to clarify the governing limits on credit awards and documentation requirements. Additionally, are there any hard financial ceilings that could impact our ability to scale as planned?
[R2.3] Finance & HR Business Partner (speak, public): To address the remaining concerns about scaling the PLA process, I'll provide an update on our Year-1 operating cost model, which we've estimated to be $248,000, with $156,000 of that being for stipends. I'd like to clarify the amount of systems work still required and any hidden quality gates that could impact throughput. Are there any external scrutiny or internal control issues that could create unplanned costs or delays? Additionally, I'd appreciate any insights on governing limits on credit awards and documentation requirements.

[R3.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): To address the remaining concerns about scaling the PLA process, I'd like to clarify if there are any hard financial ceilings that could impact our ability to scale as planned. Additionally, can we confirm if there are any external scrutiny or internal control issues that could create unplanned costs or delays?
[R3.3] Finance & HR Business Partner (speak, public): To address the remaining concerns about scaling the Prior Learning Assessment process, I'd like to clarify the amount of systems work still required and any hidden quality gates that could impact throughput.

[R4.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): To finalize our discussion on scaling the Prior Learning Assessment process, I'd like to confirm if we've addressed all concerns regarding governing limits on credit awards, documentation requirements, and any hard financial ceilings that could impact our ability to scale as planned. Additionally, are there any external scrutiny or internal control issues that we should be aware of?
[R4.3] Finance & HR Business Partner (speak, public): To finalize our discussion on scaling the Prior Learning Assessment process, I'd like to confirm if we've addressed all concerns regarding the amount of systems work still required, hidden quality gates, external scrutiny or internal control issues, governing limits on credit awards, and hard financial ceilings. Based on our previous discussions, we have a good understanding of the initial scope and timing, training effort, and Year-1 operating cost model. Let's review the remaining concerns and see if we can come to a conclusion.
