The university is leading by example in micro-courses and credentialing

Griffith U offers three units on on-line teaching and digital tech, via FutureLearn, but only for staff.  Badged as Teach On-Line, the two-week units “focus on core drivers of great student learning”, which GU says are; experience, conversation, assessment and alignment. Some 2000 staff are eligible, including sessionals, not currently engaged.

Completers qualify for a completion badge, from FutureLearn.

Griffith U is also pioneering not-for credit student achievement badges via Credly, which are a digital record for resumes and social media (CMM April 9).
