Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) collaborates with the Pelita Learning Hub (PLH) to ensure the effective development and marketing of micro-credential courses to the public. Pelita Learning Hub will assist academic programs in promoting micro-credential courses. Therefore, we invite lecturers to develop micro-credentials. Therefore, we invite lecturers to develop micro-credentials.

Micro-credentials, also known as micro-certifications, help improve the skills, professionalism, and credibility of educators. Here are several reasons why educators should obtain them:

• Enhancing Competence and Skills:

Micro-credentials prepare faculty members to tackle challenges and seize opportunities in the digital age by providing them with opportunities to acquire new skills or enhance existing ones.

• Increasing Credibility:

Micro-credentials enhance the credibility of educators in the eyes of students, colleagues, and the industry, serving as tangible evidence of their abilities and expertise.

• Improving Career Opportunities:

Micro-credentials can facilitate career advancement, such as promotions or opportunities to teach at other institutions.

• Meeting Credit Requirements :
  Micro-credentials are a component of fulfilling faculty credit requirements.

• Head of Study Program assigns lecturers to develop micro-credentials.

• Lecturers or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) discuss with Instructional Designers (IDs) the topics or modules of the micro-credentials to be developed. The Micro-Credential Development Guide is used as a reference in this discussion.
• The team also consults with the Head of Curriculum to ensure the topics align with industry and business needs (DUDI). *

• If the initial discussion results in agreement on the topic/module, Lecturers or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) creates a micro-credential development proposal. If no agreement is reached, the process halts or requires further discussion.

• Upon approval of the proposal, the SME discusses with the ID to create a Micro-Credential Timeline Development. **

• The discussed timeline is prepared and formalized. The List of Course Development form is used in this preparation.

• Information about the completeness of the micro-credential development components is provided to all involved parties.

• The process concludes with the Micro-credentials Approval Process and Checklist Form, which must be completed for final approval.

• The ID designs new course components, including reading materials, audiovisual content, assessments, and e-learning activities. The Design Document Template is used as a guide.

• The Digital Content Specialist develops reading materials in the form of E-books, presentations (PPT), and infographics.
• The Digital Content Specialist creates learning videos, including video tapping, dubbing, and finalization in the Media Server.

• The SME re-examines the developed course components to ensure alignment.

• If the course components are not aligned, the master course on the LMS Moodle/Eduhub is recreated.

• Once the course components are deemed aligned, the micro-credential development completeness confirmation form is signed.
• The micro-credential materials and content are assessed for eligibility.

• If all is aligned, the micro-credential class is opened or launched. If not, the process returns to the new course component design stage.

• The micro-credential development process is declared complete after the class is opened and all components meet the established standards.

Notes

*Optional consultation that is not a primary determinant of the micro-credential topic development.
**Approval is conducted jointly with the Dean.
