Abstract

This Forum Insight provides an overview of an important national initiative aligned to the professional development framework in the higher education sector in Ireland. Coordinated by the National Forum, a suite of open-access professional development programmes with micro-credentials (digital badges) have been developed by collaborating teams of academics, and are offered as non-accredited professional development opportunities for all who teach in Irish higher education.
