Monthly Summary
The DFI micro-credential program continues to grow and improve. March saw the addition of two new micro-credentials – Data Analytics and Problem Solving with AI – bringing the total to eleven micro-credentials developed out of the original 16 outlined in the QEP plan.
In an effort to provide the best student experience, editing of existing micro-credentials is ongoing, with Word Processing getting the most attention in March. Almost all opt-in sections for Spring Session #2 filled up, including two sections offered for Spreadsheets. Three students were awarded a DFI micro-certificate, each of which is equivalent to a credit course in CSIT.
Outreach efforts extended to Liberal Arts, Bioscience Incubator, and Engineering Technology.
