My views on Prior Learning: Prior learning plays a vital role in any field of education. Every course has certain criteria to fulfil entry requirement through which one can analyse that what kind of knowledge and skills a student acquire. Prior knowledge of a student helps him to integrate new learning. Following points are best according to my knowledge for the new entrants:

Skills and knowledge that are expected: •	Team player •	Work in collaborative way •	Patience and enthusiasm •	Relevant knowledge and experience •	Ability to collaborate previous knowledge to present •	Time efficient •	Progressive and Optimist •	Known to digital technologies •	Support learning environment •	Highly cultural competent •	Critical thinking skills

Assessment for whether expected skills and knowledge exists or not: •	Start judging them with short conversations •	Some sort of assessment can be judge from their prior academic qualification •	Develop a sort of questionnaire for checking their level at common basis (may be a questionnaire related to handle different classroom situations) or It could be self-judgement of their own level

Support needed for students who lack expected skills: •	Cultural orientation •	Time management •	Ability to develop positive outlook •	Focus on their digital skills •	Help them to develop understanding •	Enables them to collaborate work with others •	Counselling sessions •	Student support •	Assisting them to work •	Tutoring session

Learning Activities for those who acquire efficient skills: •	Enables them to think at extended level •	Assign some relevant research work •	Focus on the best use of their experience as example •	Providing opportunities to work in interested field
