Microcredentials
Microcredentials are units of learning that are less than a full degree. Microcredentials are typically a digital record of a skill or competency. Often microcredentials are certificates of knowledge and/or skills attainment, recognized and validated by the institution and industry. Often, institutions develop microcredential initiatives as a pathway to help learners/earners build towards a degree.
