Micro-Credentials stories
While major achievements in education or training are recognised by certifications, diplomas or degrees,
smaller incremental recognition is provided through Micro-Credentials. Often delivered in the form of
badges or tokens which serve to inform others of progress, while incentivising the user to keep
progressing through their learning towards an eventual ‘macro’ objective.
