READ - Edalex Research Whitepaper: Digital Micro-Credential Efficacy and Impact on Learner Confidence
We're thrilled to announce the release of our Research Whitepaper: Digital Micro-Credential Efficacy and Impact on Learner Confidence. The paper details the findings of a research study conducted over a six-month period, in collaboration with a group of international cross-sector partners as part of a Global Victoria EdTech Innovation Alliance initiative. The research results show that learners readily embraced the more detailed information included in the credential - such as a detailed description of the credential components, how learners were assessed, and the links out to Rich Skill Descriptors (RSDs) that provided job market context.
Our research found Credentialate’s Personal Evidence Record gave learners next-level understanding of what they had learnt and how they could apply it in their careers. 76% of learners felt more confident expressing their skills after receiving a Personal Evidence Record. Additionally, the research project provided the opportunity to share knowledge and practice across providers and EdTech organisations and generate new ways of working in micro-credential and skills ecosystems.
