The Transcript Project is an effort to create a framework in which a new generation of software for computer-assisted instruction can access and contribute to personal data repositories of information related to educational assessment and educational planning. Goals include facilitation of effective distance learning and the enabling of computer-based educational planning in a context of diverse student needs, diverse student backgrounds, and a rich variety of educational opportunities provided over the network.

The purpose of the Transcript core record is to present an overview of the student's background in a fixed-size file. This size is set small enough to fit on a PC style floppy diskette.

Additionally we are developing a network-based tutorial system using transcript. This would allow students to complete a tutorial over the network and have the results of their studies stored in their personal transcript record.

Some of the components of the transcript core record include:

The transcript supports education through the Internet.
