    I was wondering if one can obtain any type of credit for attending workshops.

    After I complete my BS degree at Excelsior College, I wish to have additional credits towards a Masters program (of somesort).

    The workshops that I will be attending are "Educational Technology Conferences in Florida" that deals with a variety of technology that can be applied to the classroom in K-12, from novice levels to advanced levels of learning.

    Plus, I was wondering also, how to receive credit for a intership I did in the educational field unofficially.

    Does anyone have any information on how I can go about this...and eventually transfer them to Excelsior?
    I do not believe that Excelsior will apply credit to workshops in this manner.

    Please help.

    Thanks
    Jay

    Out-of-classroom learning has to be documented by exam or portfolio, and your scenario would be the portfolio approach.

    Offhand, I can't think of any legitimately accredited school that will accept graduate portfolio credit (graduate credits should represent all new learning).

    Columbia Southern does. I believe I have seen reports that several others do, as well, but I am not certain.
