Özet

Micro-credentials, which signify the attainment of particular skills, have attracted considerable interest due to their adaptability, alignment with industry requirements, and congruence with lifelong learning endeavors. While encompassing various types, micro-credentials are often linked with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Despite the increasing number of MOOCs and the rising enrollment of students acquiring micro-credentials, there is a challenge regarding the recognition of these micro-credentials within formal educational contexts. At this stage, the Flipped Classroom (FC), which involves both online and in-class phases, could present a suitable approach for integrating micro-credentialing into formal educational contexts under the guidance of course instructors. Accordingly, the aim of this chapter is to advance a conceptual proposal for acknowledging and recognizing MOOCs as a source of micro-credentials within the context of higher education environments while accounting for the intricate interactions among micro-credentialing, MOOCs, and the FC approach.
