The document discusses KNEXT and the OCW Backpack. KNEXT is a learning recognition program that assesses experiential and self-directed learning from sources like open courseware. The OCW Backpack is a free digital tool that allows users to track their learning from open educational resources, collaborate with others, and share their profiles. Future enhancements may allow users' learning portfolios to be assessed for credit through KNEXT and compiled into an Educational Passport for credit transfer.
