Create Essential Foundational Blocks to Design Long-Term Digital Strategies and Programs

It’s very common for faculty and staff trying to create a micro-credential ecosystem to feel like they need to have all the answers right from the beginning – causing them to feel overwhelmed, frustrated and potentially to give up on the process all together. This lack of knowledge regarding effective creation and implementation often hinders institutions from capitalizing on and tackling the challenges head on. Don’t let this happen to you - take the necessary small and incremental steps with low-stakes programs and initiatives.

Gather your staff and colleagues and join us on Friday, December 13, 2024, for this interactive webinar with our expert presenter who will share how he developed a process to propose, review, develop, and implement new micro-credentials through small-scale pilot programs. He will explore the critical decisions that need to be made to initiate a micro-credentialing strategy, necessary resources for implementation, and the infrastructure needed to develop and grow a micro-credential program one step at a time.

This webinar will provide the initial and practical steps needed to identify the opportunities, potential roadblocks, lessons learned, and the essential key stakeholders needed to facilitate a small-scale pilot program or to build on an existing program on your respective campus.

Topics Covered

Gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you:

• Develop the initial, practical steps needed to create small-scale pilot micro-credentials at your institution. 
• Create a program that will increase your institution’s portfolio of degrees and credentials and ensure your students are in a more competitive position to be workforce ready.
• Provide equalizing opportunities for diverse students and those seeking to enhance their educational acumen.
• Identify opportunities, potential roadblocks, and key stakeholders needed to aid the success of developing the essential foundational blocks for long-term strategies and programs.
