White paper offers framework for micro-credential assessment - University of Buffalo

Micro-credentials have become an increasingly popular way to document the acquisition of learning and skills. But they often lack standardized assessment, hampering their ability to be fully integrated into the broader educational system. Now, two UB researchers have co-authored a white paper that presents a comprehensive process for assessing the value of micro-credentials in higher education. “Creating Assessments for Micro-Credentials in Higher Education Organization .Download pdf(7.8 MB),” co-authored by Sam Abramovich, associate professor in the departments of Learning and Instruction and Information Science, and Anne Reed, director of the university’s Office of Micro-Credentials, presents a detailed framework for micro-credential assessment, outlining innovative methods that address the needs of multiple stakeholders, including students, educators and employers.
