Disruption – micro-credentialing is on the horizon A new challenge is on the horizon for the education sector. The AQF is currently under review and the sector ss rapidly trying to adapt to the changing needs of industry. Digital/Micro-credentialing and badges may be the answer. In this webinar session we will take a look at what is currently happening around the sector, discuss what the future workforce will look like and the types of learners that education providers will need to produce, what this all means to our current curricula and how ePortfolios could be a perfect tool to help facilitate the credentialing and badging process.
