Microcredential Management: A Leading Australian University's Approach and Technical Execution
Globally, microcredentials are in a state of proliferation. Their popularity stems from their flexible and on-demand form of delivering vital knowledge, skills, and competencies. Without proper guidance, sound principles, and innovative practices to lean on, higher education institutions are falling short of nontraditional providers in the microcredential playing field. In this session, Tim Hume, CIO at a leading Australian university, will discuss how they approached and implemented an institution-wide microcredential strategy. Hume will explore the university's microcredential framework, including key strategic drivers, academic and technical considerations, and curriculum management solution. Following Hume’s opening will be a deeper discussion on the technical solution with Head of Global Client Success, Rob Bild and an audience Q&A.
