Microcredentials a ‘new frontier in higher learning’ – report - Julian Owen, EdTechnology

The UK’s tech skills gap can be vastly reduced via the widespread adoption of microcredentials, according to a report published today (8 June) by the Lifelong Education Commission. While there is currently no single definition, microcredentials, are essentially small units of learning that can be delivered online or face-to-face. The flexibility of their short-form nature, allowing the course-taker to quickly learn a specific skill, is thought by many to hold the key to overcoming the UK’s ongoing skills gap.
