TRAINING PROGRAMME: DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MICRO-CREDENTIALS IN LATIN AMERICA

 

SCOPE

This program is developed within the framework of a cooperation agreement between INQAAHE and REALCUP

 

Objective

Develop a training module aimed at enhancing Latin American Higher Education community capacity in development, implementation, and quality assurance of micro-credentials

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning outcomes: by completing module one, the learner will be able to:

  1. Analyze diversity of short-learning programs and identify and define the specifics of credit-bearing and non-credit-bearing micro-credentials
  2. Evaluate the uses of micro-credentials in diverse forms (e.g., formal, non-formal),contexts and fields.
  3. Comparatively analyze diverse modalities of developing, delivering and issuing micro-credentials.
  4. Identify the uses of micro-credentials in flexible learning arrangements while linking them with credential recognition mechanisms.

Learning outcomes: by completing module one, the learner will be able to:

  1. Design and validate a framework for flexible learning pathways fit for a specific context.
  2. Generate critical elements of policies and procedures that ensure development and implementation of robust, agile, credible, transferable, portable, stackable, and interoperable micro-credentials.
  3. Analyze relevant systems for issuing credible micro-credentials.

Learning outcomes: by completing module one, the learner will be able to:

  1. Design an efficient plan for managing micro-credentials while ensuring continuous relevance to market needs and value-added.
  2. Design a model for continuously enhancing internal quality assurance mechanisms that comprehensively cover all parties engaged in the development, delivery and revision of a micro-credential, as well as the issuance of the credential.
  3. In line with INQAAHE International Standards (ISGs) develop plans for:
    • Preparing a micro-credential provider for an external review.
    • Carrying out (self)-accreditation of a micro-credential.

MODALITY OF DELIVERY

  • Language of programme delivery: Spanish
  • Course workload

For the learning activities: 12 hours for each module, divided into 6 hours for asynchronous learning activities and 6 hours for synchronous learning activities.

For Assessment: There are 10 additional hours allocated to the design of the final project, which will be developed progressively at the end of each module. Participants will have two weeks at the end of each module to develop the project, which will be evaluated by the professors.
