Channel: eCampusOntario
Date: 2023-03-20

In the first part, we look back at the genesis of our micro-course program, which today offers 39 micro-credentials. What market demands does it answer, and how does it create individualized training paths for learners? What has the feedback been from learners and professionals? What are the first lessons we are learning and the next challenges? In the second part, we will explore new blockchain technology trends that support and expand our educational efforts. Beyond blockchain micro-credentials, how can we provide an online pathway to assemble and present micro-credentials, or even provide an ePortfolio that is valid for life? We will introduce the notion of an academic blockchain e-Wallet, its standards and its first implementations.
