Subject: \u00a0\u00a0Comment Period<\/b><\/span> <\/b>Open: Micro-credentialing Task Force Report & Recommendations<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
I am very pleased to open a comment period on the recommendations of the SUNY Micro-Credentialing Task Force<\/span> as included in the attached report. My thanks to the Task Force members, which included representative campus presidents, provosts, faculty governance, student governance, registrars, business officers, institutional researchers, and continuing education officers. The Task Force\u00a0worked collaboratively to understand the still evolving landscape of micro-credentials and to develop recommendations that help to position SUNY as a leader in this space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The Task Force recognizes the potential of micro-credentials to: enable campuses to more quickly respond to student need and industry demand; establish new academic\/industry partnerships; motivate students to persist toward academic and career goals; and bridge non-credit and credit-bearing coursework and experiences. You will see that the Task Force has recommended a definition for micro-credentials at SUNY and a path moving forward that recognizes the role of faculty in ensuring quality credentials and that is designed to give campuses maximum flexibility in designing a wide-range of micro-credentials to meet student interests and industry needs.<\/span><\/div>\n
