WEBINAR: “Microcredentials and AI Supporting Inclusion”
November 27, 2025, 9.00 AM CET
On behalf of WERA-IRN “Inclusive Excellence & Bienvivance from School to Work (IE-B-SW)” (Convenors: Pr. Bénédicte GENDRON, Dr. Paolo NARDI, Pr. Michael NETTLES)
VET experts recognize several concrete challenges when it comes to the transition to work for people with disability including autism or Down Syndrome. They often lack recognized certifications, often as a direct consequence of an assessment not inclusive by design. These challenges highlight the need for innovative solutions: can microcredentials, personalized assessments, and industry-led digital credentials really improve inclusion in education and employment contexts?
Starting from a recent research on AI-Driven personalization of assessment and Micro-Credentials in New Zealand, Stuart Martin will guide a dialogue on how AI can effectively tailor assessments to meet diverse learner needs, showing the crucial role that microcredentials can play to foster more inclusive work environment, engaging employers.
