At the request of the Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, PEQAB is leading consultations on the development of a quality assurance framework for micro-credentials. The outcome of this process will result in a recommendation to the Minister in Fall of 2023.
The OMC: Harnessing the Potential report is an overview of the proposed framework developed through a literature review, environmental scan, key informant interviews and consultations with stakeholders. The proposed quality assurance framework seeks to harmonise understanding and provide transparency of micro-credential programming utilising existing policies and practices in Ontario's higher education system in order to recognise student achievement and support lifelong learning.
PEQAB is seeking feedback from a wide range of stakeholders on the perceived value, areas of concern, or issues of feasibility with the framework. We welcome written responses submitted to PEQAB@Ontario.ca until September 30, 2023.
Public responses can be found here.
