Introduction ‘Micro-Credentialisation’
The Training Material at hand ought to motivate and enable you to
design your MicroCredential-course
aligned with the features of a European MicroCredential
based on a Virtual Learning Environment.
It is composed of three units and will guide you as HE teachers through
the process of describing learning offers in digital space,
using MicroCredential descriptors,
so that your students are issued with the new concept of digital credentials (= MicroCredentials)
to transparently get their achievements to be recognised by other HEIs and employers.
After all, competences acquired in this course, combined with the implementation of the new learning, are supposed to help educators to utilise digital MicroCredentials as a means to support the principles of learning outcome recognition and ECTS transfer among the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
The competence model of this course is DigCompEdu and the EdDiCo Learning maturity Model.
Where do you stand?

O Expert: I have advanced knowledge on the process of designing MicroCredentials on the levels of micro and macro curriculum level, and I am able to explain the links and meta-data between the credential and digital curriculum in a Virtual Learning Environment.
O Pioneer: I have comprehensive knowledge and/or experience of the process of designing MicroCredentials on the levels of micro and macro curriculum level and the links and meta-data between the credential and digital curriculum in Virtual Learning Environment.
