Coming This Fall: Our Next Webinar
Microcredentials and University Strategy
What Academic Leaders Need to Decide Now
What role should microcredentials play in the future of our institutions — and how should leaders respond strategically?
Microcredentials have moved rapidly from experimentation to institutional agenda. However, their long-term impact remains uncertain. In our next webinar, we invite academic leaders to look beyond the microcredentials hype, build your understanding of the microcredentials landscape, and consider how higher education can rethink the ways it delivers value in a changing world to compete successfully.
Join us as we share our latest research to explore:
Are microcredentials a fundamental disruption to how higher education defines learning and value?
How can microcredentials support the evolution of more flexible, lifelong pathways?
What counts as legitimate knowledge, and how should learning be recognized and connected to real-world outcomes?
Our Empowered Leader webinars bring together leading voices in the world of academic leadership to discuss the biggest issues facing institutions today. Join us to gain insights and connect with other academic leaders. Learn more here.
