Micro-credentials are everywhere today, yet many universities are still unclear about what they actually are, how to implement them and how to avoid mixing up the terms. Then comes the question: EDC or Open Badges? And another: does a qualified seal really make a difference?
This webinar answers these questions directly, with examples. We will walk through the whole process, from verifying learning outcomes and awarding a micro-credential to issuing its digital credential – one that the student can share and an employer can verify.
60 minutes + live demo: Credentium + Moodle + wallet and mobile app (Android/iOS) + sharing and verification.
Who the webinar is for
- University leaders (rectors, vice-rectors, deans) responsible for strategy and for developing the university’s programme portfolio
- Directors and coordinators responsible for teaching, quality and degree programmes
- Careers services and teams that work with employers and the wider socio-economic community
- People developing the university’s lifelong learning offer, postgraduate programmes and short courses
- Digital transformation and IT teams (including LMS integrations)
- Education and EdTech organisations that want to implement micro-credentials and issue verifiable digital credentials for them
What you will learn
- How to connect the whole process: knowledge transfer → verification → micro-credential → digital credential → sharing and verification
- How to design micro-credentials: learning outcomes, criteria and the method of verification (validation)
- What the European Digital Credentials (EDC) and Open Badges standards are and how they differ in practice
- What role the qualified electronic seal (eIDAS) plays in securing digital credentials and making them credible
- How a student receives a digital credential, views it in their wallet and in the mobile app (Android/iOS), and shares it
- How an employer (or another institution) can verify the authenticity of a digital credential, and so confirm the micro-credential it represents
- How to add a digital credential to the European Europass wallet
Agenda
- Why micro-credentials are gaining momentum now: the labour market, lifelong learning, modular learning and pressure for measurable outcomes
- Micro-credential vs digital credential: which is which, and how to talk about them without confusion
- Verification at the heart of the process: criteria, validation, proof of skills
- Digital credential standards: EDC and Open Badges – practical differences and interoperability
- Credibility and trust: the qualified electronic seal (eIDAS)
- End-to-end demo: Credentium + Moodle + wallet and mobile app + sharing and verification
- Europass: how a student adds a digital credential to the European wallet
- Q&A and next steps: rollout scenarios, trial, 1:1 demo
What you will see in the live demo
- Creating a template in Credentium for a digital credential that represents a micro-credential
- Issuing a digital credential manually to one person
- Issuing a digital credential automatically when a student completes a course on Moodle
- Notifying the student, who then receives the digital credential in their wallet
- Viewing the digital credential in the mobile app for Android and iOS
- Sharing the credential, e.g. before a job interview, and verification by the employer
- An example of a credential bearing a qualified seal
- Adding a digital credential to Europass
