Assessment-based certificate (ABC) programs and micro-credentials play important roles within the credentialing space. Whether used as confirmatory tools in workforce development to attest to specific skills, as a steppingstone within a career track to provide evidence of mastery, or as an eligibility requirement for an academic or professional program to validate qualification to progress, ABCs and micro-credentials meet market needs that certification alone is not designed to meet.
This interactive workshop will focus on the development, design, and psychometric components of assessment-based certificate and micro-credential programs. For those that wish to seek accreditation, guidance will be provided on how to align program design and execution with aspects of the ICE1100 Standard. Handouts will outline tips for establishing a content validity argument, such as how to logically link together job/task analysis outcomes, a corresponding exam blueprint, and learning and assessment materials. Interactive exercises will allow participants to apply talking points with learning objectives while engaging in small group discussions.
