SEED Microcredential Packages
Each SEED micro-credential package is designed as a practical, flexible learning resource that can support higher education staff and institutions in developing new knowledge, applied skills and context-responsive practices. The packages include study guides, presentations, readings, activity templates and assessment tasks that can be used as stand-alone professional learning resources or adapted into credit-bearing micro-credentials. Each package is structured to support blended and online-supported learning, with clear weekly guidance, learner activities and evidence-based tasks that can contribute to institutional change and sustainable development priorities.
