Description
Jennifer Ellis presents this 2024 talk on short training credentials in gerontology, the study of aging. Micro-credentials are a growing market in the field, but their role is still fuzzy. Their form varies by subject, school type, and place. Assessment of these short awards is in its infancy, with rival views and much confusion.
The talk reviews standardization of these credentials in the United States. A lack of shared rules has left the free market to fill the gap, just as credit programs shrink. Ellis asks what it would mean to align all short training with industry standards. She also asks how those standards match the needs of aging service providers. The aim is open dialogue among educators, providers, and system leaders on chances and risks.
