Destiny One workgroup update

The Continuing Education Units/Professional Credit/Certificate/Badge Standards Workgroup kickoff meeting was conducted October 11, 2017. The group has been charged to define common standards for the issuance of CEUs, certificates, badges, and other credits offered through Enterprise-supported, non-credit registration systems.

The group’s work will also include defining assessment of worthiness, and creating a process to validate that standards are being followed and met.

• Participants are from across the TC campus’ and Duluth
• Some issues raised during the initial meeting include:
• Internal vs External credentials
• What will be best for the University of Minnesota as a whole
• Standards for U of M sponsored credentials may differ and be superseded by professional organization or national standards
• Benchmarking of other institutions

The group will continue to meet and establish project governance, timelines, and a standards recommendation. For more information contact dorshelp@umn.edu.
