Abstract

This paper presents a new certificate that consists entirely of microcredentials: a stackable model. The postgraduate qualification was piloted extensively with staff members at the Open University (OU) and will soon become available for a global audience. The successful completion of study entitles the certificate holder to become a Fellow of the Higher Education Agency in the UK, a highly regarded first stage professional membership and a proxy for teaching excellence. We will present key elements of the programme, key steps in the approval of the qualification and initial feedback from the pilot cohorts.
