The former is more appropriate to research universities and the latter for other providers? https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629765766 2021-06-29 07:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629765766 I would love to know if the lifelong learning agenda is mainly or only about digital skiils, or is also about intercultural competences, citizenship competences (e.g. how do we deal with disagreements, etc) - and if it is the latter, how do we value these kinds of skills? https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629772125 2021-06-29 07:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629772125 It makes sense not to allow individuals to "create their own degrees" from a perhaps rather random collection of micro-credentials. What would be the way forward, however, for individuals without a degree, who have accumulated many micro-credentials? Can we ensure that adults who accumulate micro-credentials have clear paths to higher quals that do not require them to start HE study as if from scratch (and pay for a full degree on top of any previous micro-credential loans/fees)? https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629795480 2021-06-29 08:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629795480 So it is NOT possible to combine MCs, to one bigger degree? theguild https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629856714 2021-06-29 09:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629856714 Leo Boe: How can online learning drive soft skills development aligned to the employability agenda? theguild https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629858071 2021-06-29 09:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629858071 Monique Scheer: Does embedding the inclusion agenda of micro-credentials in the European Univ Alliances not create a problem with the language of teaching (probably English), which could exclude life-long-learners? theguild https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629859350 2021-06-29 09:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629859350 Elisabeth Blagrove: Are there any issues around a customer/consumer oriented model emerging when we’re working towards this transformation? To me, the transformation of learning we’re working towards emphasizes partnership and co-creation rather than simple transaction… theguild https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629866467 2021-06-29 09:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1629866467 Couldn't agree more, but I still wonder how could we cope with combining two such different domains as digital and personal. I fear that the digital domain will consume our personal domain all too quickly. Do you think that it is possible to maintain both equally? https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1663727298 2021-07-29 04:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/theguild/futureofeducation/wish/1663727298
