There is no absolute definition for micro-credentials in Canada or anywhere else, in terms of period of study, range of content or specific forms of assessment. Components are, however, widely recognized as key characteristics of micro-credentials. In Ontario, it is widely agreed that a micro-credential is “transcriptable”(link is external) meaning it will appear on a learner’s college or university transcript and will be deposited to her or his digital wallet or e-portfolio. What is not agreed is how long a micro-credential takes to acquire (varying by content) or how portability between countries is assured.
