Toward Competency-Based Programs as a Bridge to Career ePortfolios: Karuta Op...Raynauld Jacques
This document discusses how ePortfolios can be used to link classroom work to career placement and introduce competency-based education. It provides examples of ePortfolio use cases from French universities where students self-evaluate skills, document experiences, define career paths, and showcase potential. The presentation outlines how the open source Karuta ePortfolio tool is being used flexibly in France to build portfolios that aggregate academic, professional and personal experiences according to different user workflows. It concludes that ePortfolios can help bridge the traditional "silos" between curriculum and career centers.
This two-day training course on April 4-5, 2013 will cover Output-Based Aid (OBA) concepts and considerations for designing and implementing OBA projects. The interactive course will use real case studies and exercises led by subject matter experts.

The document discusses microcredentials and the European Microcredentials Consortium (EMC). The EMC was founded to increase awareness and use of digital education. It aims to make microcredentials a widely considered option for employers and workers through increasing their credibility and building complementary course offerings. The document also notes the rise of alternative digital credentials and reasons for their growth, including that traditional transcripts do not serve the workforce and skills-based hiring is increasing. It proposes a common microcredential framework to standardize credentials and addresses next steps such as launching first microcredentials later in 2019.
Micro-credentialing Workshop: A view from the Australian higher education sectorCharles Darwin University
The Australian sector is now starting to see a few good examples of micro-credentialing in action. When done well this is a really complex thing and not something that should be undertaken lightly, or to be seen as a quick win by institutions. There are issues of alignment, design, validity, portability, transparency, authenticity and many more that need to be considered in developing an institutional approach to this. This involves many systems working/talking together across the institution (not the least of which is the LMS), and potentially the introduction of newer/contemporary ways of thinking about learning and teaching.
This workshop will initially summarise some of the current practice being seen in the sector and share some emerging models. Not only will participants develop a greater awareness of the current trends, but more importantly, they will develop for themselves, and potentially for their institution, a suite of models/options that could be applied in their own unique context.

Common microcredential framework discussion at European Business Forum 25 10-...EADTU
The European MOOC Consortium is developing a common microcredential framework to address the growing demand for alternative credentials from employers and learners. The framework aims to lay the foundations for a new qualification consisting of smaller units of study between 100-150 hours that develop relevant skills. These microcredentials would be recognized towards formal qualifications across different higher education systems in Europe. Challenges include gaining official European Commission recognition and increasing awareness and access among learners. Next steps include launching initial microcredentials and engaging stakeholders through an EU-funded project.
The European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning, Jens BjornaveldYouth Agora
The document discusses the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), which provides a common reference point to compare qualifications across Europe. It aims to facilitate lifelong learning and mobility by making qualifications more transparent and easier to understand. Key dates are outlined relating to the establishment and rollout of the EQF. The EQF is a voluntary process and is based on learning outcomes rather than educational structures. It represents both opportunities and challenges for reforming national qualifications systems and clarifying relationships between vocational and higher education.
This document discusses the PR-ERF project, which aims to adapt the European Reference Framework for Key Competences to continuous vocational education and training. The project seeks to develop a holistic methodology for recognizing and developing these competences through CVET to help learners with personal fulfillment, development, inclusion, and employment. It is based on a previous project that developed training for basic European Qualification Framework levels. The document also notes that Sweden previously defined educational goals differently than competences, but that this project is helping shift Sweden's approach to align more with the European understanding of competences.

Bijdrage over het verbeteren van de aansluiting van resultaten van informeel - en non formeel leren op formele kwalificatiestructuren. (H)erkennen en waarderen van leren, koppelen van leerresultaten aan bestaande (professionele) referentiekaders. Aansluiten bij wat er al is en niet zelf weer een wiel uitvinden omdat "de branche/regio/het beroep/de opleiding/de organisatie zo vreselijk uniek is". Voor opleidingen: leerwegonafhankelijk toetsen organiseren.

David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
