| Definitie van een microcredential
Een microcredential is een bewijs van de leerresultaten die een lerende heeft verworven na een korte leerervaring. Deze leerresultaten zijn beoordeeld aan de hand van transparante normen. Het bewijs is opgenomen in een gecertificeerd document dat de naam van de houder, de behaalde leerresultaten, de beoordelingsmethode, de uitreikende instelling en, indien van toepassing, het niveau van het kwalificatiekader en de behaalde studiepunten vermeldt. Micro-credentials zijn eigendom van de lerende, kunnen gedeeld worden, zijn overdraagbaar en kunnen gecombineerd worden tot grotere referenties of kwalificaties. Ze worden ondersteund door kwaliteitsborging volgens overeengekomen normen. 
ReferentiesSamenvattingOm aan de EU definitie van een microcredential te kunnen voldoen zouden we de volgende aanpassingen kunnen maken aan edubadges en dit afstemmen met werkgroep metadata. - Ad 3: Verplicht veld - Country/region of the issuer → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel issuer: landcode: NL.
- Ad 10: Verplicht veld - Form of participation in the learning activity → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel badgeclass.
Opties: Online, Onsite, Blended, Volunteering, Work experience, By choice of participant, Personalized learning activities / Online, Onsite, Blended, Vrijwilligerswerk, Werkervaring, Naar keuze deelnemer, Gepersonaliseerde leeractiviteiten
- Ad 12: Verplicht veld - Type of assessment → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel badgeclass.
Opties: Testing, Application of a skill, Portfolio, Recognition of prior learning, Personalized assessment, By choice of participant. / Toetsing, Toepassing van een vaardigheid, Portfolio, Erkenning van eerdere leerervaringen, Gepersonaliseerde toetsing, Naar keuze deelnemer. - Ad 13: Optioneel veld - Supervision and identity verification during assessment → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel badgeclass.
Opties: Unsupervised with no identity verification, Unsupervised with identity verification, Supervised with no identity verification, Supervised with identity verification. / Zonder toezicht zonder identiteitscontrole, Zonder toezicht met identiteitscontrole, Onder toezicht zonder identiteitscontrole, Onder toezicht met identiteitscontrole. - Ad 14: Optioneel veld - Quality assurance of the credential and, where relevant, of the learning content → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel badgeclass: Name, URL, Description
- Ad 15: Optioneel veld - Grade achieved → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel assertion. Toevoegen als optie bij het uitreiken met de optie om dit een verplicht veld te maken zoals Narrative en Evidence. Grade: 8
- Ad 16: Optioneel veld - Integration/stackability options → Toevoegen aan metadatamodel badgeclass.
Opties in type badgeclasses: Standalone independent micro-credential, Stackable towards another credential / Zelfstandig onafhankelijk micro-credential, Stapelbaar ten opzichte van een ander credential.

"narrative": "The holder of this Badge obtained the MSc in International Economics (120 ECTS) at the Example University. The Program Structure is available at this link. In order to obtain this degree, a student must enrol in and complete the corresponding study program at the Example University. When students complete the activities, ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits will be awarded. The ECTS is a credit system for higher education that allows comparison of study attainments of students across the European Union. In our University ECTS credits are awarded to students when they successfully complete learning activities, usually as follows: 1. regarding the taught courses, students must pass a final exam (written, oral, or both written and oral), achieving a mark equal to or better than 18/30; 2. regarding the professional training periods and practice, students must attend the majority of the course as compulsory (in general 70% of the total time) and must obtain a \\\"pass\\\" grade from the teacher (or from the tutor, or the supervisor); 3. regarding the workshops and fieldwork, students must: in certain cases, pass a final exam (written, oral, or both written and oral), achieving a mark equal to or better than 18/30, or, in other cases, attend the majority of the module/course as compulsory (in general 70% of the total time) and obtain a \\\"pass\\\" grade from the teacher (or from the tutor, or the supervisor); 4. students must prepare and discuss in open debate a dissertation on a chosen topic, based either on a research project or on a study of the relevant scientific literature. The final degree grade depends on: 1. the weighted grade point average of all grades obtained for all the learning activities, weighted by their ECTS credits; 2. quality of the final dissertation."

|---|
| Ten eerste met betrekking tot de in de wiki opgenomen suggesties met betrekking tot mcs volgens de europese commissie t.a.v. de metadatavelden.
Vanuit de vertegenwoordigers van de koepels hierover de volgende feedback: Ad 3 - de voorgestelde mogelijkheden lijken goed te passen.
Bij Ad 10 en Ad 12 de zouden wij graag de optie 'naar keuze deelnemer' (by choice of participant) toevoegen op basis van ervaringen in de instellingen.
Participatie in leeractiviteiten is namelijk niet altijd verplicht en/of eenduidig. Trajecten kunnen ook bewust leerwegonafhankelijk worden aanboden. Dit geldt ook voor toetsing. Er bestaat aanbod waarbij de deelnemer zelf mag voorstellen hoe hij of zij de leeruitkomsten aantoont. Zie ook: https://open.overheid.nl/repository/ronl-44276b30-c94b-4901-8497-868b9c394c4d/1/pdf/position-paper-by-the-netherlands-microcredentials-euconsultation.pdf Advies regiegroep pilot microcredentials m.b.t. metadatavelden dienst edubadges Het advies van de regiegroep met betrekking tot de inrichting van de metadatavelden van de dienst op basis van input van de instellingen is de genoemde velden optioneel toe te voegen.
Bij de Velden ‘Form of participation in learning activity’ en ‘Form of assessement’ adviseert de regiegroep de volgende antwoordmogelijkheid toe te voegen, om aan te sluiten bij de Nederlandse onderwijscontext: - Form of participation in learning activity - Gepersonaliseerde leeractiviteiten / Personalized learning activities
- Form of assessment – Gepersonaliseerde toetsing / personalized assessment

| Definition of a Microcredential
A microcredential is a proof of the learning outcomes that a learner has acquired following a short learning experience. These learning outcomes have been assessed against transparent standards.The proof is contained in a certified document that lists the name of the holder, the achieved learning outcomes, the assessment method, the awarding body and, where applicable, the qualifications framework level and the credits gained. Micro-credentials are owned by the learner, can be shared, are portable and may be combined into larger credentials or qualifications. They are under-pinned by quality assurance following agreed standards.
ReferencesSummaryTo meet the EU definition of a microcredential, we could make the following adjustments to edubadges and align this with working group metadata. - Ad 3: Mandatory field - Country/region of the issuer → Add to metadata model issuer: landcode: NL.
- Ad 10: Mandatory field - Form of participation in the learning activity → Add to metadata model badgeclass.

"narrative": "The holder of this Badge obtained the MSc in International Economics (120 ECTS) at the Example University. The Program Structure is available at this link. In order to obtain this degree, a student must enrol in and complete the corresponding study program at the Example University. When students complete the activities, ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits will be awarded. The ECTS is a credit system for higher education that allows comparison of study attainments of students across the European Union. In our University ECTS credits are awarded to students when they successfully complete learning activities, usually as follows: 1. regarding the taught courses, students must pass a final exam (written, oral, or both written and oral), achieving a mark equal to or better than 18/30; 2. regarding the professional training periods and practice, students must attend the majority of the course as compulsory (in general 70% of the total time) and must obtain a \\\"pass\\\" grade from the teacher (or from the tutor, or the supervisor); 3. regarding the workshops and fieldwork, students must: in certain cases, pass a final exam (written, oral, or both written and oral), achieving a mark equal to or better than 18/30, or, in other cases, attend the majority of the module/course as compulsory (in general 70% of the total time) and obtain a \\\"pass\\\" grade from the teacher (or from the tutor, or the supervisor); 4. students must prepare and discuss in open debate a dissertation on a chosen topic, based either on a research project or on a study of the relevant scientific literature. The final degree grade depends on: 1. the weighted grade point average of all grades obtained for all the learning activities, weighted by their ECTS credits; 2. quality of the final dissertation."

Instellingen geven hier allen op hun eigen wijze kleur aan. Deze eigenheid en diversiteit kunnen beschouwd worden als een kracht van het stelsel, maar kan ook leiden tot discussie onderling wanneer gezocht wordt naar eenduidigheid. Daarom is gekozen voor een kwaliteitskader waarbinnen instellingen zoveel mogelijk (inhoudelijke) vrijheid genieten. De pilot geeft ruimte aan de instellingen om te starten met dit kader als vertrekpunt en deze al doende in gezamenlijkheid bij te schaven en verder in te vullen....."

| title | Feedback van regiegroep Pilot Microcredentials |
|---|
| Firstly, regarding the suggestions included in the wiki regarding mcs according to the european commission regarding metadata fields.
From the umbrella representatives on this, the following feedback: Re 3 - the proposed options seem a good fit. In Ad 10 and Ad 12 the we would like to add the option 'by choice of participant' based on experiences in the institutions.
After all, participation in learning activities is not always compulsory and/or unambiguous. Pathways can also be offered deliberately independent of learning pathways. This also applies to assessment. There are offers where the participant may propose how he or she demonstrates learning outcomes. See also: https://open.overheid.nl/repository/ronl-44276b30-c94b-4901-8497-868b9c394c4d/1/pdf/position-paper-by-the-netherlands-microcredentials-euconsultation.pdf Advice of the direction group pilot microcredentials with regard to the metadata fields of the edubadges service Based on input from the institutions, the direction group's recommendation regarding the design of the service's metadata fields is to optionally add the aforementioned fields.
For the Fields 'Form of participation in learning activity' and 'Form of assessment', the direction group recommends adding the following response option, to fit the Dutch educational context: - Form of participation in learning activity - Gepersonaliseerde leeractiviteiten / Personalized learning activities
- Form of assessment – Gepersonaliseerde toetsing / personalized assessment
