Micro-credentials for Self-Regulated Learning in the 21st Century: A Review of the Literature

• In Event: Theoretical views
  In Roundtable Session: Theoretical views-D&D

Short Description

This roundtable proposes a literature review discussion of badges and micro-credentials in education. Micro-credentials are defined as an innovative approach to learning that creates visible, incremental pathways with digital badges as waypoints representing specific skill achievements. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is proposed as a theoretical framework to fortify and standardize micro-credentials as an educational approach at all levels. The three stages of SRL are described along with examples of the evolving integration in micro-credential research.
