In this one hour workshop you are invited to explore a novel 7 step model for designing joint micro-credentials with practitioners from CHARM-EU. Learn from experienced practitioners in CHARM-EU to help you innovate and gain knowledge of joint micro-credential development.

Joint micro-credentials are a novel addition to the European higher education landscape, with many university teachers designing short term, skills focussed, educational programmes with colleagues from other institutions. This type of inter-institutional education is increasing due to European strategic initiatives, such as European University Alliances (EUA) and the European Degree, and even beyond Europe through Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Within institutions, micro-credentials across disciplines are also increasing due to strategic drivers related to interdisciplinary teaching, life long learning, and intra-institutional collaboration. However, joint teaching across institutions and disciplines can be technically, administratively, and pedagogically challenging. Delivering a micro-credential across institutions requires careful consideration of technical infrastructure and interinstitutional interoperability. Ensuring the needs of diverse learners and facilitating common administrative tasks across institutions such as registration and certification is complex. From a pedagogical perspective, teaching jointly delivered programmes requires specific competencies including intercultural skills, collaborative curriculum design, and digital literacy.

Register for this hands-on workshop where you will hear from practitioners of joint micro-credentials, and gain knowledge of how to implement these innovative programmes in practice.
