Learn how you can use Google and Nearpod’s FREE tools to streamline lesson creation, enhance student participation, receive real-time formative assessment, and create more teaching moments.

Adults face a number of challenges when they consider enrolling in a higher education program. Most adult learners have family, work, social and community obligations that enrich their life experiences and make them high-quality candidates for a program. However, those same experiences can make researching and applying to a school particularly challenging, or even discourage prospective students altogether as they try to get answers within an institution’s standard 9-to-5 workday.

Micro-credentials are a natural extension of the formal and informal learning activities educators engage in every day. Digital Promise has built an ecosystem of micro-credentials in partnership with issuers, earners, and recognizers to personalize learning for educators. These micro-credentials are competency-based, on-demand, personalized, and shareable. They empower educators to drive their professional learning and give administrators the tools they need to personalize learning for their educators and meet their broader goals. Digital Promise is working with states, districts, schools, and educators to implement and build incentive structures for micro-credentials.
