The HEFCW-funded Tertiary Working Group on micro-credentials (micro-credentials Special Interest Group) is a cross Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Network chaired by Steve Osborne, Principal Lecturer Professional & Workforce Development, at Cardiff Metropolitan University. The group has been established through QAA’s grant arrangements with HEFCW to support the development and sharing of practice in the rapidly developing field of micro-credentials across higher and further education.
About this event
This first webinar, organised by the Network in partnership with QAA, will share current policy landscapes across higher and further education in micro-credentials and short course learning across each of the UK’s home nations. There will be a short overview of the current practice and policy developments in each of the UK’s nations, followed by a panel discussion with the representatives.
