Micro-credentials in higher education institutions are one of the “hot rising ideas in the education space,” according to Forbes. The integration of digital badges within university curriculum provides a solution to track students’ skills development and a way for them to communicate their abilities to an employer — making them that much more marketable and workforce ready. Fortune 100 Companies have readily accepted alternative credentials and digital badges and this acceptance increases your students’ ability to advance in their career or secure jobs upon graduation.
Is your institution capitalizing on this opportunity to explore an alternative approach to learning?
Gather your staff and colleagues and join us on Monday, November 18, 2019 for this interactive webinar with our expert presenters as they illustrate how digital badges and micro-credentials are shaping the higher education landscape and creating equalizing opportunities for diverse students (first generation, marginalized students, students with disabilities, etc.) to navigate their entry into a competitive workforce.
This webinar will provide the practical steps to change or implement a digital badge program, apply best practices to create your business plan, and map curriculum and credential engine registry. Create a digital badge program that enhances the educational opportunities for emerging, transitional, entrepreneurial and incumbent workers!
