Unpacking Blended Learning and Micro-Credentials With Dr. Mark Brown

In today’s episode, we unpack two of the most talked about terms in the education space: blended learning and micro-credentials.

Whether you are for or against them, you can’t argue that they’re among the most talked about topics in the teaching and learning space today. To discuss this topic further, we welcomed Dr. Mark Brown, Director of the National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL) based at Dublin City University.

Dr. Brown and Dr. Ford discussed why the term ‘blended learning’ can and should have more than one definition, how blended learning could be a solution to making professional development for educators more accessible and the three things institutions should think about as they develop their micro-credential offerings.
