Description

A framework created and maintained by Digital Promise to guide the design and accessibility review of competency-based micro-credentials on its platform.

Components

  • Marco de Evaluación Basado en Competencias de Digital Promise: El eBook describe el marco que fundamenta todas las micro-credenciales de Digital Promise. Sus primeros principios surgieron de profesionales de todo Estados Unidos: "construido sobre la base de destrezas demostrables, fundamentos basados en la investigación, múltiples formas de evidencia y evaluación y revisión transparentes y rigurosas". Tras una auditoría interna de contenidos en 2021, el marco se reiteró sobre principios de inclusión, equidad y accesibilidad, operacionalizados en cinco preguntas de revisión: impacto, equidad, acceso, lenguaje y el "Panorama General". El marco requiere que el estudiante presente evidencia de la aplicación de la destreza, evaluada por expertos objetivos contra rúbricas. (Galindo et al. (2024))
  • Digital Promise quality-assurance framework for research-backed, evidence-based micro-credentials: To ensure quality and rigor, Digital Promise developed a framework ensuring micro-credentials are "research-backed and evidence-based." The framework has five components: a "definition of the specific competency;" a "key method to achieve that competency;" "research and resources to support the key method and competency;" a "description of the evidence and artifacts that must be submitted to demonstrate competency;" and a "rubric and scoring guide for how that evidence will be assessed." This structure underlies how each credential in the ecosystem defines, supports, and assesses a discrete educator competency. (Barnett Berry et al. (2016))
