Yesterday at #IUA we learned a lot about #microcredsIE. It is mind boggling how much Information you can pack in one day alone.

We had an information packed Session at #UCD. Turns out Universities share many similar challenges in implementing #microcredentials.

New on the blog: Towards an Open Recognition Wallet

https://blog.weareopen.coop/towards-an-open-recognition-wallet-327fff86b0d5

In my article, I found that 60% of leaders think micro-credentials are vital for tackling talent shortages and rapid skill checks. Are you noticing the same in your industry?

Read my recent blog post 'Micro-credentials: Towards qualification recognition, mobility and stackability' and listen to my interview with Rebecca Ferguson on the recent publication 'Microcredentials for Excellence: A Practical Guide': https://www.col.org/news/micro-credentials-towards-qualification-recognition-mobility-and-stackability/

It's @weareopencoop's online Christmas party in a few minutes time.

So before breaking out the mince pies and beverages, I've just hit sent on the final draft of a #microcredentials report that I collaborated on with @epilepticrabbit

Massive shout out to @bryanmmathers whose images we used to bring it to life. Huge thanks to him also for producing a sausage-related image for the conclusion at short notice

Enough. https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2024/12/04/calling-short-courses-microcredentials-is-cringe/

A bit of fun https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2024/11/26/digital-bodges-and-badges/
