There is rapidly growing interest in higher education about microcredentials and badges. The why of adopting a microcredential strategy was explored in a recent WCET Frontiers blog, “Considering Your “Why”- How Developing a Microcredential Strategy Will Help Your Students (and Your University) Thrive.” Microcredentials create shorter-term pathways for learners and earners. Additionally, they can aid student recruitment and retention. Microcredentials can also connect pathways and career advancement. But how do you get a microcredential initiative started at your institution? Panelists shared their microcredentialing journeys, covering:
Dean, Workforce and Community Programs, Arapahoe Community College
Micro-credentials Program Manager, Office of the Registrar, University of Colorado Boulder
Executive Director, UWM Online, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
Vice President, Content Services, Higher Education, LearningMate
