This link below is new and from today, I didn't realise that OpenLearning hadn't developed OpenCreads for Malaysia yet. This being their biggest market, will most likely be very big now! I have read at least two articles recently, stating the Singapore/Malaysia Government directives in up-skilling through Micro-Credentials and a lot of Government funding being put towards this directive.

Introducing OpenCreds for Malaysia

A distinctive micro-credential framework designed to meet the needs of the education sector, industry and its lifelong learners.

About the framework:

Around the world, interest in short courses and micro-credentials has grown as people look for faster and more cost-effective options for up-skilling and re-skilling.

The OpenCreds framework enables education providers to capture this opportunity in the market. Launched in Australia after an extensive industry consultation process, the framework is also the first cross-sector micro-credential framework for Australian education.

OpenCreds is now available for Malaysia, drafted to align with the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) and the Guidelines to Good Practices: Micro-credentials (GGP: Micro-credentials) by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

Why OpenCreds?

OpenCreds was designed with one driving purpose: to enable lifelong learning to become a practical reality for post-secondary learners.

It provides a common structure for the delivery of micro-credentials, making it possible for education providers to offer industry-recognised courses that lead towards credit in a formal qualification, with a high-quality learning experience.

In formulating the OpenCreds framework, considerable effort has been made to enable alignment to the range of education spheres upon which adult learners draw upon to fulfil their learning needs:

• Technical and Vocational Education and Training;
• Higher Education;
• Professional Development providers; and,
• Work-based learning in Industry.

Designed for Malaysian Lifelong Learners:

The nature of work is changing, as is the frequency with which learners will need to upskill and reskill. With this comes a shift in learner’s expectations; with an emphasis on:

• Relevance of the learning outcomes;
• Flexibility in how they engage and learn;
• Portability of learning acquired in a range of learning contexts; and,
• Clearer pathways for accredited study.
