ABSTRACT: Micro-credentials and micro-degrees are increasingly being discussed in education policy and prac-tice as a flexible and innovative form of qualification. This discussion paper outlines the current status of national, European and international activities on micro-credentials and micro-degrees on digital learning platforms, in higher education and in vocational education. Taking the AI Campus – the Learn-ing Platform for Artificial Intelligence – as a use case, it presents current practical developments and perspectives. Central to this is the presentation of a working definition of micro-credentials and micro-degrees, considering the current academic discourse, as well as the demonstration of two planned AI Campus micro-degree programmes. Finally, an outlook will be offered related to the AI Campus’ plans for advancing the development of micro-degrees and helping them to take shape. The focus of this paper is on the German and European university landscape.
