The impact of OU microcredential courses

 This dataset was used for phase 3 of the Open University microcredentials evaluation study and focuses on the impact of microcredential courses. It was collected from learners who studied a 21J presentation of an OU microcredential course six months after the end of the courses. Participants gave their consent for this information to be deposited within ORDO and used for future research and learning in accordance with the OU Data Research Management Policy.

The spreadsheet contains 38 learners’ anonymised responses to survey questions about the impact of their courses.

The document consists of nine vignettes of learners’ narratives about the impact of their courses shared at interview. The names given are pseudonyms.
