Ensuring digital and micro-credentialization of learning as a part of transparent assessment for recognition of learning outcomes

This chapter intends to recall the factual content-related process, which is needed to follow the idea of learner-centered teaching. The usefulness of a MicroCredential is closely related to the careful extraction of feasible subject areas for constituting a small learning unit.

Teachers should keep in mind that by carrying out a MicroCredential, the (more or less experienced) learner enters a journey which, apart from leading to obtaining a certificate in the end, ideally provides for a positive experience along the learning pathway. The MicroCredential should be designed to encourage, support and reward learning in a relevant competence area focusing on an enclosed topic.
