Section 5 of the “Towards a European approach to micro credentials: a study of practices and commonalities in offering micro-credentials in European higher education” analytical report provides a brief overview of several case studies from around the world that highlight innovative practices related to micro-credentials. These case studies include:
The European MOOC Consortium, which offers a range of MOOCs (massive open online courses) and micro-credentials in a variety of subjects.
The University of California San Diego, which has developed a micro-credential program focused on data science and analytics.
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority, which has developed a framework for micro-credentials that emphasizes quality assurance and alignment with the country’s national qualifications framework.
The Australian Qualifications Framework, which has developed a micro-credential taxonomy to help ensure consistency and comparability across different micro-credentials.
The City & Guilds Group, which has developed a digital badging platform that allows learners to earn and display micro-credentials.
Overall, these case studies highlight the diverse range of approaches to micro-credentials that are being taken around the world, as well as some of the challenges and opportunities associated with developing and implementing micro-credential programs. The report suggests that there is much to be learned from these case studies, and that sharing best practices and collaborating across borders will be essential to ensuring the success of micro-credentials in the European education system.
