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.

The function of microcredentials for the Open UniversityRobert Farrow
This presentation explores the reasons for adopting and developing microcredentials, and whether they currently satisfy those intentions. This draws on the development of microcedentials at the UK Open University and the experience of the European Microcredential Consortium project.
As with many educational technology developments, the hype and rhetoric sometimes outstrips the reality of implementation. MOOCs, learning analytics, artificial intelligence and blockchain have all seen intense periods of projected possible benefits, before settling into a narrower range of actual usage and recognised benefits. Microcredentials are perhaps still in the initial phase of being a development without an evidence base of practical use to support their claims, but some clear intentions from institutions are emerging and initial evidence regarding their take up by learners suggests avenues for their continued deployment.
It should be noted that development of microcredentials is not a zero cost game. They are costly to develop, often requiring different sets of expertise and tools. There is also an associated opportunity cost in developing them, for the time and resource they demand is effort that could be used on other initiatives. So in adopting them, institutions need to be asking two fundamental questions: “Are microcredentials worth this cost?” and “Do microcredentials represent the best way to realise these aims?”
This presentation will explore the answers to these questions, drawing on the experience of the OU in developing a range of microcredentials for the FutureLearn platform and the Erasmus+ EMC project which is examining the adoption of microcredentials for work based learning.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Ongoing practice in MOOCs and online short programmes is rapidly growing
Europe and world-wide. There is a major variation in credentials awarded
for them: micromasters, nanodegrees, matertracks etc.
No consistency in qualifications leads to confusion.
Clarity on qualifications is of utmost importance for learners, universities
and employers.
At the moment the current situation is hindering the breakthrough of
MOOC programmes, online continuous education / CPD in general and
career development while careers become longer
Rationale
4. Demand for a more
standardised credential
There is major variation
within credentials and
between them. Employers
need a common standard
to support lifelong
learning
5. Our Ambitions – Micro-Credentials
EMC partners aim to:
- Lay the foundations for a new qualification to address the needs of employers
and learners looking for smaller units of study that develop relevant skills
- Enable courses to be recognised towards formal qualifications
- Enable courses to be stackable across different higher education
systems in Europe and beyond
We hope to see this framework used more widely by European universities
and agencies to facilitate collaborations
6. Model: Common Microcredential
Framework (CMF)
- Have a total workload 100 - 150 hours (4-6 ECTS)
- Be levelled at Level 6 (bachelor) Level 7 (Master) with options for levels 4/5
(in combination with ECTS) in the European Qualification Framework or the
equivalent levels in the University’s national qualification framework
- Provide assessment enabling the award of academic credit, either following
successful completion of the Course or via Recognition of Prior Learning upon
enrolment as a student on the University’s course
- Operate a reliable method of ID verification at the point of assessment
- Provide a transcript setting out the learning outcomes for a Course, hours of
study required, EQF level and number of credit points earned
- Courses should be designed so that the number of hours per week is manageable
- Courses aimed at employees or workplace skills should combine theory and
practice to ensure their learning directly relevant in the workplace
