TRU Open Learning receives funds to improve micro-credential assessment - Thompson Rivers University

Thompson Rivers University (TRU) has received $321,359 for the third phase of its work creating a process to assess micro-credentials for additional credit options. A micro-credential is a short, stand-alone, competency-based learning program that fits with labour market or community needs. It is assessed and recognized for employment or further learning. As part of phase 3, TRU is assessing up to 50 micro-credentials for possible academic credit. This includes provincially funded and independently developed micro-credentials. TRU is also working with the B.C. Council on Admissions & Transfer (BCCAT) to house and share the assessment results through the online Transfer Credit System. Sharing assessment results allows institutions across B.C. to identify potential credit paths within their own institution.
