SUMMARY:Alternative Credentials and Modularity as Innovative Learning Pathways
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAlternative credentials (AC) which are high-quality\, 
 portable\, and recognizable inside and outside of an institution of higher 
 education can make visible the discrete skills\, knowledge\, and mindsets 
 acquired by learners. The ability ACs provide to deconstruct and name not 
 only large areas of content knowledge but also the more elusive yet highly 
 sought after “soft” or “human” skills is a boon to students and 
 employers alike. Pedagogically\, ACs offer an opportunity for faculty to 
 think deeply and creatively about learning outcomes across projects and 
 assignments rather than entire semesters only\, even integrating 
 experiential learning that occurs beyond classroom walls. Further\, due to 
 their modular nature\, the stackability of ACs can illustrate for students 
 numerous learning pathways to achieving a specific goal\, certificate\, or 
 even degree. Whether by providing on-ramps to courses or certificates\, 
 allowing non-graduating students to demonstrate–and eventually 
 complete–their learning\, or providing learner voice and choice\, ACs are 
 harbingers of a more equitable\, student-centered\, and creative way to 
 assess and credential learning.\n\nIn the second of three webinars in the 
 series "Imagining the Innovative University of the Future\," join us for a 
 conversation about the future of alternative credentials with Noah Geisel\, 
 Micro-Credentials Program Manager in the Office of the Registrar\, 
 University of Colorado Boulder and Duke alumnus.\n\n\nAbout the 
 series:\n\nImagining the Innovative University of the 
 Future\n\nInstitutions of higher education are facing numerous stressors 
 and challenges in an evolving landscape of learner and employer needs. 
 Newly established universities and colleges may have certain advantages to 
 well-established institutions\, in that they can focus their programs\, 
 curricula and pedagogies on what learners need now and will need in the 
 future. How can established and respected institutions such as Duke evolve 
 and innovate based on strong foundations\, to expand their quality 
 offerings to reach new audiences of learners\, teach new skills and 
 capabilities\, and develop new ways of recognizing and tracking learner 
 accomplishment? \n\nThis webinar series will highlight some of the ways 
 that innovation can and is happening in higher ed -- at the university 
 scale (macro innovation)\, program scale (mezzo innovation)\, and 
 individual course scale (micro innovation). \n\nPlease register below\, and 
 also join us for remaining webinar in the series:\n\n\n	Applied Research 
 and Classroom-Based Innovation\, Friday April 19\, 12 - 1 PM 
 EDT\n\n\nEarlier webinar in the series:\n\n\n	New Universities of the 21st 
 Century\, Friday April 5\, 12 - 1 PM EDT\n\n\n\nSpeaker biography\n\nNoah
