Kipping, Gregor; Gau, Michael; vom Brocke, Jan


Zusammenfassung

The presence of digital credentials, such as micro-credentials, in education and information systems is increasing. This TREO Forum paper addresses the growing discourse around micro-credentials, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by information systems scholars and stakeholders, including employers and learners. We advocate an interdisciplinary approach to tackle challenges and promote transparency, flexibility, and recognition for the successful adoption and management of micro-credential implementation. Moreover, we highlight the importance of context in determining the value of micro-credentials and suggest a forward-looking perspective for their efficacious adoption.
