Full Agenda. Sessions

The Future of Higher Education: Building a portfolio of micro-credentials towards credentials

Traditional forms of education are being challenged by leading educators and innovators across the world. As careers grow more unpredictable, children will require a different set of skills in order to succeed after education. As a result, we must interrogate how we measure and award credentials in our student population.
This session will explore:

How to place greater value on the curriculum, through online and offline learning
Ensuring quality assurance and accreditation in online learning
Providing staff with professional development through e-learning platforms

Wednesday 09 December 11:30 - 12:10 Room 1
