Make lifelong learning and skills visible in schools

How can you help students recognise the valuable skills they’re developing every day? Students gain skills constantly but often cannot name or explain them when applying for jobs, further education, or other opportunities.

This course shows teachers how to surface the hidden curriculum, build skills literacy, and equip students for future pathways. You’ll learn practical, low-effort strategies that work in any classroom to make transferable skills visible and help students articulate them confidently.

A university degree signals knowledge, but does it clearly communicate what a learner can actually do?

As expectations around employability continue to evolve, higher education is being challenged to better articulate the skills students develop throughout their studies. Yet many of these capabilities remain hidden, difficult to evidence, or inconsistently recognised.

This course invites you to rethink how skills are understood, surfaced, and valued within higher education.

Badging 101 - Coming soon

Badging 101 is a practical introduction to digital badges and credentials. It helps learners understand what badges are, how they work, what makes them meaningful and how they can be used to support skills recognition, learner agency and lifelong learning.

The course introduces the badge ecosystem, badge metadata, evidence, criteria, trust, sharing and the role of badges in helping learners tell a clearer skills story.

I also work with organisations to design online courses, short-form learning, microcredentials and professional learning experiences. This includes course strategy, learning outcomes, content design, learner activities, assessment models and recognition pathways.
