Digitization of Credentials: Quality of Shorter-Term Educational Experiences. CHEA/CIQG Publication Series
van der Hijden, Peter
Council for Higher Education Accreditation
Human beings are compulsive learners. Strong demographic and economic factors coincide with this natural desire to learn. This current paper focuses on quality aspects of shorter-term educational experiences. What features determine quality? What type of quality reviews would be most suitable? Are accreditation and quality assurance as they have been known, still relevant? What role for the Council for Higher Education International Quality Group (CHEA/CIQG) Quality Platform, one approach to addressing the challenge of assuring quality for these experiences? The preliminary responses in this paper draw on the discussion of a Working Group convened by CHEA/CIQG and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) in Washington DC on 13 March 2019. The Working Group focused on the current state of shorter-term educational experiences and efforts to assure quality in this emerging sector: (1) Who are the providers?; (2) Are numbers growing?; and (3) What is known about assuring quality?
