Project description

MicroCredX prepares universities to increase the flexibility of education. It helps to break study programmes into shorter, online courses (micro-credentials). The project is identifying and removing barriers to micro-credentials. It is building on existing processes, not reinventing the wheel.

KIC role

Our team leads the development of the MicroCredX Course Catalogue. The catalogue offers over 30 free online courses. The courses cover: Informatics, ICT and Data Science Management, Engineering, Economics, AI applied in Education, and AI applied in Law.In addition, we have also supported piloting an Opportunity Scoping Tool. This tool is a design thinking methodology to define, implement and improve an institutional strategy for micro-credentials. It also facilitates the integration of micro-credentials into institutions’ existing operations.
