Building for Flexibility — Modular and Micro-Credential Design in Higher Ed
🎙️ Podcast Episode 3: Building for Flexibility — Modular & Micro-Credential Design in Higher Ed
Are traditional degree programs keeping pace with change?
Educators often find curriculum updates slow and expensive—like watching a glacier move. In Episode 3 of the LiveCarta Podcast, we dive into how modular course design and micro-credentials are reshaping higher education.
Break Courses into Bite-Sized Modules
With modular design, each course becomes a set of self-contained units—lessons, case studies, or skill blocks—complete with outcomes and assessments. When new developments arise, replace just one module instead of rewriting an entire textbook. The result? Courses that stay current and relevant, effortlessly.
Earn Stackable Micro-Credentials
Micro-credentials transform modules into digital badges or certificates. Students earn proof of mastery—whether it’s data analysis, ethical AI, or project leadership—as soon as they complete a unit. These badges stack toward full credentials or shine on résumés and professional profiles immediately.
