Abstract
This project builds upon the successful CAULLT project (Investigating Teaching and Learning Frameworks and Credentialling for Professional Learning in Higher Education, Dinan-Thompson, et, al, 2019), and explores how the New Zealand micro-credentialing framework (New Zealand Qualifications Authority) could align to professional learning activities in teaching, learning and leadership for staff at 5 Australian Institutions and the CAULLT MOOC. This includes reflection and gap analyses on the learning outcomes, assessment, volume of learning and the provision to stack towards higher micro-credentials. This outcome could be the first step in providing the Australasian sector with a common and transferable set of micro-credentials, that may vary in learning outcomes, but incentivise, validate, and give visibility to the professional development activities undertaken by university staff.
