It is divided into two sections. The first section presents literature on quality assurance in PLAR in Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, the Netherlands, and the United States, as well as a number of multi-national initiatives.

The second section presents literature on quality assurance in higher education and assessment in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, and the United States, in addition to some multi-national initiatives.

The project also produced a report on the role of PLAR in postsecondary education and a PLAR guide for postsecondary institutions.
