The quality assurance process allows us to develop some of the common definitions and common understanding among partners of what really good micro-credentials look and feel like." - Dr. Thomas E. Hodges

ALT "I believe in education. I believe that personalized learning for teachers is critical for the future of this country. Teachers need these personalized options, and digital learning is the way to personalize teacher learning. Micro credentials offer the teachers across the country this kind of support. They can individualize their needs and they can work on their own time. What better solution is that?" - The Honorable Bev Perdue, Ph.D.
