Potentially not as relevant as other speakers given the US-based research, but it could be interesting to have an international perspective.

2020 saw many businesses undergoing significant, rapid change as they adapted to the challenges the pandemic presented. Key benefits of micro-credentials include how specific and industry-relevant they are, and that they are achievable in a short period of time (or self-paced). It would be interesting to find businesses with staff who undertook micro-credentials to learn skills needed to adapt to changing businesses needs in a tight timeframe, as they would be able to provide applied and specific examples of how their studies impacted their businesses.

What will be our Call To Action at the end of the Conference Stream Event?

Shall we have a simplified online form Expression of Interest for the tyre kickers? A digital takeaway piece of information equivalent to a pamphlet such as a webapge that has the general process and

or booking form if people have been thinking about producing an online course but didnt know how to go about it or what is involved from the UoA, so they want a short online course and express a deadline and more in depth understanding of who to contact, what to say, timeframe to initiate such a project etc

Joint venture OSC and or Microdentials between employees of UoA and other professional bodies, so how does a joint venture course unfold, who needs to be involved, costings, (who pays for what)

Title: Making the most of “bells and whistles”
Summary: A diverse range of technologies support learning at university. Combined with sound pedagogical principles and practices these can greatly enhance the learning experience for students. But how is this done? How can we as learning designers and course builders work collaboratively with subject matter experts to design and build learning experiences which make the most of what technology offers? How can we combine pedagogy with technology to engage learners and enhance learning?
