Abstract

In 2023, we were fortunate to be awarded a SEDA small grant to evaluate the work we had been leading in supporting staff to develop microcredentials. In our context, these microcredentials were initially 5-credit, fully online mandatory modules aimed at supporting student success and transition into the first year of an Abertay University degree programme. These microcredentials became known as the MySuccess modules. This was a new delivery format for the university (for more details see: Millard, Blackwell Young and Hogan, 2023). Our final report with a summary of the evaluation of the staff development is on the SEDA webpages (Blackwell Young and Hogan, 2024).
