My new article with Lisa Cary on #microcredentials has just been published https://t.co/7rvij0TJXQ

[ATN Universities @ATNUnis]

A big question from @SAlexander_UTS @UTSEngage is: who pays for micro-creds? @Eduspokesperson's Dom English notes that increased public funding often comes with increased regulation, which might not be what micro-creds need.

#ATNMicroCreds

[ATN Universities @ATNUnis]

"It's really about opening up access, but there are also hurdles [and opportunities]" says Darien Rossiter - we need to think about format, accreditation, flexibility. We may lose something if micro-creds are seen solely as shorter forms of award quals.

[Renee Desmarchelier @RCDesmarchelier]

Some food for thought. https://t.co/mpIH8tPLsQ

@EmilyAnnMont thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry this happened to you. Allies need to call it out too when they hear it.

[Emily Montgomery @EmilyAnnMont]

Stereotyping 101. This week I was confronted by someone comparing my lighter complexion to what they thought an Aboriginal person should look like "(you don't have) dark skin or a big nose". It's 2022, these comments shouldn't be happening. Ignorance is not an excuse.
