Date/Time

Event Description
Sponsored by International Association for Continuing Engineering Education (IACEE), Georgia Tech Professional Education (GTPE), and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI).
Leading international experts on alternative credentials, microcredentials, and badging discuss current efforts, successful examples, and emerging frameworks for the creation, interoperability, and sustainability of these innovations. The conversation also addresses science and engineering since the rapid changes in these fields require professionals to quickly and continually gain new competencies, while receiving the appropriate and acceptable evidence that these competencies are attained. The question is, with the possible proliferation of alternatives to the commonly acknowledged “college degree,” how do we create a shared understanding, a common currency that we, higher education institutions and employers alike, will recognize and accept? This webinar explores potential answers to this question.
