23. Ryan Torma (Minnesota) & Lena Patterson (TMU): How Our “Microcredential Moment” Will Impact Higher Ed’s Future

Listen Later

It’s YOUR time to #EdUpPCO

 

In this episode,

 

YOUR guests are Ryan Torma (Executive Director of Professional Development and Lifelong Learning at the University of Minnesota) and Lena Patterson (Interim Assistant Dean for Programs in the Chang School of Continuing Education at Toronto Metropolitan University)

 

YOUR host is Amrit Ahluwalia⁠⁠, Executive Director of Continuing Studies at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada


Some key questions we tackle:

  • Why are microcredentials and alternative credentials having their “moment”?
  • How do we reconcile the competency-based nature of microcredentials with the traditional seat-time model that universities have used for centuries?
  • What are the most significant obstacles blocking the proliferation of microcredentials?


    • UPCEA is hosting a coffee chat featuring Ryan and Lena on December 17, 2024. To find this and other UPCEA-hosted events, click here: https://upcea.edu/events/#web
