MICRO-CREDENTIAL IN LEAN TOOLS

About this Module

What you will learn

A micro-credential project for the Lean Tools course is being implemented to achieve the following objectives: 1. Provide opportunities for lecturers to develop course content through an online platform that facilitates effective and efficient teaching and learning processes, in addition to traditional classroom methods. 2. Assist students in acquiring and referencing course information and materials from credible and trusted sources provided by lecturers. 3. Aid students in gaining knowledge on the subject through self-directed learning methods, accessible through an interactive virtual learning technology platform anytime and anywhere. To achieve these goals, an advanced topic (UMC170 - LEAN TECHNOLOGY) from the second learning outcome (LO) of the EST531 course syllabus has been selected for the development of the micro-credential. This topic was chosen because it involves theory, and students can master it through online learning methods. Lecturers also obtain feedback on students' knowledge levels through assessments conducted within the micro-credential.
