 Why Get This Microcredential?

 

This microcredential is part of the Educational Live Streaming credential. Where the first two microcredentials in the credential introduced participants to the phenomenon and its consumption for teaching and learning, this course is designed to teach about tools for streaming and reference pedagogies to play – as educators - an active role in the educational streaming scenario.

Important Terms
  • Evidence-based – Statements about topics (e.g., educational streaming) that are backed by research literature to support claims. ​ċċċċċ
  • Live streaming platforms – Digital outlets that allow users to stream to their members.
  • Public streaming – The practice of streaming activities of any kind on digital platforms open to the public (e.g., Twitch.tv).
  • Streamer – A person who streams his/her/their own videos live on live streaming platforms.

  Benefits of this Microcredential

 

Live streaming is widespread across the world, and its use of education is taking a foothold in many fields and content areas. However, this practice is particularly effective when teachers and instructors play an active role in planning, managing, and being “streamers” of educational content. Consequently, this microcredential covers the reference tools and references that should be considered to become a successful instructional streamer.
