Micro-Credentialing in Higher Education Workshop

The needs of learners from school-leavers to excelling professionals are evolving. Higher education institutions are experiencing record attrition rates, and the business imperative to offer innovative education products becomes mightier with every passing semester.

Micro-credentials offer a welcomed alternative to long-form qualifications, creating pathways for those who cannot access traditional higher education programs. They can function as a taster for uncertain potential students, intellectual stimulation for lovers of learning, or essential professional development for professionals in evolving industries or those wishing to change direction.

To develop and deliver a quality micro-credential suite, you need a deep understanding of the social and commercial drivers for this innovative new product, the benefits to learners, your institution, and higher education as a whole, plus technical knowledge to design these specialised units of learning. Education researcher and consultant Robert Kay has been heavily involved in researching and developing effective models for micro-credentials and will guide you through the process from strategic overview to design over two invaluable days of learning for you.
