Edu Inspirations FME: Will Micro-credentials and Digital Badges Change the Face of Education?

edu
Micro-credentials, also known as micro-credentials, in simple terms, are digital certificates confirming the acquisition of skills, knowledge, or competencies. They are evidence of completing educational forms smaller than, for example, university diplomas, such as e-learning courses, workshops, or trainings. They also allow for quickly showcasing what we know and presenting it in the form of an attractive digital portfolio.

Unlike traditional study programs, which can last for several years, micro-credentials are designed to be shorter and more focused. They provide students with the opportunity to learn from a chosen field in a more flexible way. They can also be arranged into collections and certification paths to build a wider set of skills, and even used as a pathway to higher education.
