Описание: The Credential Society by Randall Collins is a classic on higher education and its role in American society. Forty years later, its controversial claim that the expansion of American education has not increased social mobility, but created a cycle of credential inflation, has proven remarkably prescient.
Описание: The credentials environment grows more complicated by the day. This book enables readers to grasp the key issues and take informed action. For ease of reference, each chapter opens with a summary of its content and closes with a list of key takeaways for readers to consider.
The world of academic credentials is going through a rapid change that has seen the emergence of alternate digital credentials. Among these are micro-certificates, digital diplomas, and open digital badges, which provide a digital record of learning and have the possibility of not only altering the landscape of academic credentials but also transforming the relationship between institutions of higher education, their learners, and society. As institutions turn their attention to alternate digital credentials, it is important to learn from what others have experienced.
Innovations in the Design and Application of Alternative Digital Credentials identifies innovative examples of the use of alternate digital credentials to validate specific skills within an existing academic program or on their own. Alternate digital credentials may be how specific skills (hard or soft) are validated with an emphasis on their relationship to enhance employability and recognition within an industry. Covering a wide range of topics such as micro-credentials, badge-driven learning, and traditional credentials, this handbook is ideal for researchers, students, academicians, and administrative decision makers, as well as those who support and finance learning systems and theories and those already involved in the design and application of alternate digital credentials at the post-secondary level.

Описание:
Have you ever asked yourself why are we taught to pursue higher education, get a degree, and work for a big institution? If you think about it, we mostly end up working for college dropouts, (which isn't bad, ) despite our numerous degrees. While we are educated, we are sometimes not adequately trained to be innovative and creative, nor are we taught the non-classroom ways, arguably, leading to fulfillment.
While credentials, titles, academic accolades, and achievements are essential, that isn't the only 'go-to' factor that leads to human fulfillment. In the pursuit of credentials, we tend to forget about balancing life with those pursuits-which can lead to a successful but unfulfilling life. Beyond the Credentials was inspired by many years of experience-a combination of typical daily living, corporate work, field consulting on business development, strategy, and general life experiences. Etiquette must be employed to complete the equation. This book, therefore, provides real-life, practical lessons and closes the gap between classroom education and what the industry truly needs, such as the right leaders for the right institutions, how to close sales and negotiations, sign those contracts, and how to relate to one another to get out of the myth that anyone who may not sound or look like you is not as intelligent as you think-what I describe as a 'wake up' call. It is a message that is crafted to transform your mind, reset your thinking, and position you for professional and personal success.
