The accelerating pace of technological, demographic and socio-economic disruption is transforming industries and business models, changing the skills that employers need.
Job profiles are changing rapidly and according to the World Economic Forum (2016), the most in-demand occupations today did not exist ten or even five years ago.
The challenge is that we cannot move fast enough to keep pace with the adoption by businesses.
Micro-credentials is key to bridging massive digital skills gaps around the world.
The World Economic Forum predicts that 42% of the core skills within existing jobs on average are expected to change by 2022. Lifelong learning and continuous retraining can help meet these evolving skill demands.
The below visual demonstrate the credential ecosystem and two types of learning that takes place in the life of a lifelong learner. Macro-credentials are often categorised by formal, and micro-credentials are often categorised by non-formal learning. A macro-credential often take place in the early years of our lives in schools or universities. A micro-credential in the form of short courses and learning certificates can be often focused on skills and jobs, flexibility in self-paced learning, less financial obligation involved.
Micro-credentials are helping to meet the rapid pace of skill decay that working professionals should engage in learning at every age.
Micro-credentials are certification-style qualifications that individuals choose to study to improve a skill found in a particular industry area.
They are short, low-cost online courses that provide learners with a digital certification or a ‘digital badge’ when complete.
This new learning concept continues to gain recognition and is highly sought after within the professional landscape.
OpenCreds is the micro-credential framework designed to meet the needs of education, industry and lifelong learners. Micro-credentials remain a messy and complex landscape of providers, options and models. The OpenCreds Framework aims to outline how education providers can provide a market-leading lifelong learning and micro-credentialing experience that prepares learners for the future of work.
An OpenCreds can be a stand-alone credential, designed to provide value to leaner independent of formal qualification, or it may interact with formal qualification.
Aligned to a formal qualification level and a clear understanding of level of achievement and/or successful completion leads to to a formal qualification.
Successful completion earns credit for learning in a formal qualification, or component part of the body of a course that is part of a qualification.
Recognised by an industry association or accrediting body as meeting the needs towards maintenance of continuing professional development requirements.
When you learn with OpenLearning, you are part of a collaborative learning community, where ideas are explored and shared. Take a look at our learning philosophy based on social constructivist learning theory.

“The goal is to provide a social learning environment in which students feel empowered, deep learning experiences are fostered, students are intrinsically motivated, and passionate communities of practice flourish through well-designed constructive experiences.”
