E-Course UKM: Micro-credential

What is

Micro-Credential?

Microcredentials enable you to continue your education in a specific sector. They are professional credentials meant to help you develop in-demand career skills while also deepening your grasp of a subject, with the option of earning a professional or academic credential. They are created or accredited by leading universities.

Our online microcredentials are designed to upskill you for work in rapidly-growing industries, without the time and cost commitment of a full degree. They can be used as an independent certification, and some even offer academic credit to use towards a degree. Each microcredential also includes a formal online assessment.

What is

Digital Badge?

simply a visual representation of a micro-credential. Once learners have demonstrated proficiency in the required skill, they're provided with a digital badge. Badges can be shared on social media, added to email signatures, displayed on resumes, and added to digital badge wallets like Credly and OpenBadges.

A digital badge isn't just a pretty picture. It's backed up with a skeleton of metadata - this includes information on the issuer, the individual who received the badge, the criteria to earn it, and evidence that the criteria has been fulfilled. This metadata makes digital badges easily verified as legitimate compared to a paper certificate.
