What are micro-credentials and who is completing them?

[midnite123]

Microcredentials are useful as they can be the first credits that someone gets on route to a Bachelors or Masters.  There are many microbachelors or micromasters options that ladder these MOOC courses that offer credit at the undergrad/grad levels for use at several universities.  I think it's a great option to ladder these, especially since people get credit and if they like these type of courses, they can continue onwards with their Bachelors or Masters of choice, it's like getting a "detailed intro course" of the subject matter...

Hi,

Great info!!!
I did not know anything about Micro-Credentials, possibly being part of a Bachelors Degree!

Can you tell me where I can find out about this topic?
Any examples?

Thank You Very Much!!
