Workshop 

on Micro-Credentials about Data

Friday, 8 November 2024 | 2.10 – 3.30 pm (IST)

ITC Windsor, Bengaluru, India

With digitalisation revolutionising the global labour market, flexible educational formats are needed to meet the emerging demands for professionals to be. Micro-credentials therefore offer a unique solution to acquire new skill sets that are both applicable to real-world problems and actionable in a short period of time.

This workshop offers a deep dive into the foundational micro-credential “Mastering Data” that is being developed by HIIG as part of the project Strengthening Digital Skills through Micro-Credentials. Participants will be guided through a hands-on exploration of the intermediate state of the data micro-credential using a user story testing approach. While navigating through the micro-credentials on the basis of predefined tasks, participants discuss and reflect their experiences in order to improve upon the development process.

In order to embed the foundational micro-credential into a bigger learning pathway that allows learners to increasingly improve their skills around the management, analysis and interpretation of data, this workshop will also include a mapping of competences and topics for the learning pathway around data.
