3rd MicroHE Consortium meeting in Malta
After an expert workshop held on Monday afternoon with 0xcert CEO, Kristijan Sedlak, and the subsequent consultation with the OEPass partnership, the MicroHE project now has the basis of a tech solution to facilitate portability of micro-credentials. When ready, we will call this instrument the Credential Clearinghouse. If you’re interested at being amongst the first testers of its Beta version, please get in touch. In the meantime you can already participate in the public consultation for a Meta-Data Standard for recording Micro-Credentials on Github.
MicroHE at the EDEN 2018 Annual Conference
The 27th EDEN Annual Conference was held in Genoa, Italy on 17-20 June 2018. The conference was organised by MicroHE project partner, the European Distance and E-Learning Network (EDEN).
This year, the theme of the conference was “Exploring the micro, meso and macro: Navigating between dimensions in the digital learning landscape“. Open Education continues its success, providing radical advances in knowledge acquisition, sharing, distribution, and improving business models. Digital credentials and open badges are the new currencies which are beginning to transform the economic models in education.
The MicroHE project received ample attention by being represented in the conference programme by a paper titled “Support Learning through Microcredentialling – The Case of the MicroHe Initiative” on Monday and by a brief mention by Anthony Camilleri in his keynote speech: “Beyond the Hype: a Blockchain Perspective to Educational Management“.
2nd MicroHE Consortium Meeting
On 23-24 April 2018 we had our second joint MicroHE-OEPass consortium meeting in Budapest, Hungary.
On both days, important questions regarding open and future work packages, quality management and other organizational issues were discussed. By the time of the next joint meeting in Malta in October, the further procedure for the successful handling of the project could be determined.
The evening was comfortably concluded with original Hungarian cuisine.
Thanks to all partners for this productive meeting!
