Abstract
According to the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA), academic advising is a series of intentional interactions with a curriculum, a pedagogy, and a set of student learning outcomes. The curriculum represents the subject matter advising covers and ranges from academic and career educational planning, building campus community and social relationships, and developing lifelong learning strategies and capabilities. The present work addresses how the curriculum, pedagogy and learning outcomes of academic advising can contribute to develop and assess lifelong learning capabilities. The Key Performance Indicators for lifelong learning are identified and how they can be assessed, evaluated, and improved during a modified academic advising curriculum are discussed. The proposed approach shifts developing and assessing lifelong learning skills from selected program courses to an organized college-wise activity inside the framework of well-organized extra-curricular academic advising interactions.
