Open Universities Australia is increasing its micro-credentials capacity, signing with services provider OpenLearning

The partners will provide OL’s cross-sector micro-credentials framework, Open Creds, to OUA participating universities.

It’s a necessary move for OUA as the market for digital short courses and micro-credentials grows and changes. There are now 370 government-funded short courses for people looking to retrain during the COVID-19 crisis. And institutions are exploring their own badged micro-credentials, like pioneering Deakin U which also signs to use the OL platform.
