The ideological goals that guided our conceptualization were based on the AAC&Us findings in its 2021 report, 鈥淗ow College Contributes to Workforce Success,鈥� which noted that 鈥淓mployers do not believe most graduates possess the level of preparedness need for workforce success.鈥� The elements that many employers identified as 鈥渧ery important,鈥� focused on skills rather than subject matter expertise. Beyond emphasizing career preparedness, we aimed to make our college's offerings accessible to all students on campus, recognizing that workforce readiness skills are to all majors. 

Mirco-credentials offer flexible, targeted, and verifiable ways for learners to gain and demonstrate specific skills and competencies in a rapidly changing education and workforce landscape. They offer verifiable proof of specific, marketable skills, like critical thinking and communication, which are often not reflected on resumes or transcripts. They provide a structured and credible way for individuals to demonstrate both academic and professional competencies to employers.

, Forbes reported that 85% of employers prefer candidates with at least one micro-credential, and 96% believe micro-credentials make applications stronger.

OAI oversees three primary sets of level one badges: the Merlin Wealth Financial Education Credentials, the Skills for Success series; targeted at essential competencies identified by employers, and a collection of Intellectual Property credentials. The Office of Academic Innovation is committed to advancing new initiatives, consistently proposing, piloting, developing, and refining micro-credentials to meet emerging needs.

Here is a list of all current and future micro-credentials in the college on the student facing website.

Level I badges document introduction to skills and competencies gained from opportunities for personal, career, and professional development. Level I Badges should demonstrate learning, but not mastery, and involve practicing skills and competencies in a simulated environment. 

Level I badges can be "stacked" together into a Practiced Digital Certificate that demonstrate that a learner qualified and capable of employing a collection of competencies or industry standards in professional environments.

Level II badges document skills and competencies that have professional and career value. Learner activities should demonstrate the mastery of skills and competencies and take place in professional environments. Level II Badges require artifact(s) be submitted and assessed.

Level II badges can be "stacked" together into an Expert Digital Certificate. 

More information can be found in the Micro-Credential Guide.

The credential can be awarded by faculty or staff who have been trained in the Canvas Credential system. As this can be a timely process, the Office of Academic Innovation has developed a process which allows students to submit for a credential and staff in the office to award it. Awarding can depending on how a credential is offered but it is not expected to be awarded by college faculty.

Use this fillable worksheet for assisting with outlining the process. Please reach out to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs before submitting any credential! 

Here is an infographic with an overview of the process. 

There are several options that you can use to best suit your pedagogical approach.

You can add the credential to your D2L course as a SCORM file. It can be set up as a quiz or for participation, with flexible retake options to promote mastery鈥擠2L grades it automatically and updates your gradebook. After students finish, export their names, emails, and scores from the gradebook to Excel and send the file to OAI (oai@kennesaw.edu). Instructions for uploading credentials as SCORM files are available in another FAQ.

 Another option is to send students to OwlTrain, where they can complete the modules on there as a training. This requires that the students download their completion certificate and follow the directions at the end to submit their completed certificate to a link to trigger the badge to be awarded.

Another option is to link to the module via the OwlTrain link and have the students submit the certificate as grade for the course. If you choose this option, a course roster, 妖姬直播email address, and grade/successful submission notification can be submitted to oai@kennesaw.edu to confirm completion and OAI will award the badge.

No, these are focused on skill or competencies. They are not academic credentials.
