Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a 'lessons learned' type of article where "several experts in the field to share lessons learned from their experiences implementing microcredential programming at their institution." Some of the insights aren't especially insightful (eg. "it has taken collaboration, research, communication, and key partnerships"). It's interesting to see the institutions rely on centralization and coordination, and in addition, "having one vendor to manage your 'supply chain' of credentialing is both a benefit and a challenge... a challenge is getting all the needed name brand products from one source." Pretty light reading, but important because it shows that the commercialization of microcredentials is well underway.
