There has been much hype about microcredentials. For example the NZ Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has worked at recognising these.
This paper provides a critique of the emergence and adoption of micro-credentials in higher education. Many of the points made are also pertinent to VET and further education (FE).
The paper is available for download and should be compulsory reading for people who work in curriculum development, programme design etc. In particular, the application of micro-credentials to further 'vocationalise' HE is important to understand.
