Micro-credentialing, or micro badging, is a trend that keeps popping up.  This may be an interesting idea we could pursue through an SWP grant proposal?  I haven’t researched it fully, but I can envision examples that align with our certificates that showcase skills.  We give certificates now, could badging be bundled?  Is it useful for employers?

Microcredentialing:
Serve New Students, Build New Revenue
& Move Beyond Conventional Grading
                                          Wednesday, October 25th • 2-3:30 pm (ET)


Microcredentialing and open digital badging have the ability to quickly build a new viable, profitable revenue stream from a non-traditional target market utilizing resources that your campus already has. It's a target market that is not traditional higher education students, but non-traditional students, who are already in the workforce looking to further their careers with specific skill sets. Open digital badging allows students to showcase the skills they have learned – and mastered – at your institution, beyond conventional classroom grading schemes.

Join us, and in just 90 minutes, you and your staff will learn new ways to assert the value of higher education through the use of technologies that allow learners/earners to annotate, curate and share evidence of learning over digital social networks, adding additional meaning and value to their collegiate experiences. Your students will be able to articulate exactly what they are gaining from your institution, offering employers a much more detailed glimpse of their abilities. Your students – whether traditional or non-traditional – will be more marketable as they demonstrate specific skill sets necessary for the workforce.

If you ignore this trend, you will fall behind your competitors. Explore new alternative approaches to assessing and recognizing learning and decide which Open Badge solutions would be most appropriate for your students to demonstrate their competencies on your campus.
