Using micro-credentials to gamify learning and evidence progress

Micro-credentials have existed for some time, but are only just becoming more common in education settings.
By carefully curating a micro-credential pathway, educators can design personalised learning for students that compliments both hybrid and conventional delivery methods.
When carefully designed, micro-credentials also allow schools to see student progress and curriculum alignment.
