Microcredentials
Micro-credentialing is the process of earning a micro-credential, which are like mini-degrees or certifications in a specific topic area. They can either be broad, such as 'Machine Learning,' or specific, like 'Using Data to Differentiate Instruction for ELL Students.' To earn a micro-credential, you would need to complete a certain number of activities, assessments, or projects related to the topic. Once you've completed the requirements, you submit your work in order to earn the credential. https://study.com/academy/popular/what-is-micro-credentialing.html
