Section outline

    • Welcome
      Welcome to Micro Certificate 2 of Collaboration Competency for ESD. In Micro Certificate 1 you planned two activities that develop Collaboration. Here you learn to assess it: what to ask students to submit, how to mark it fairly, and how to show an auditor the evidence.

      What you will gain: a four-clause assessment brief, a rubric adapted to your discipline, and an audited Collaboration assessment plan with a named second marker.

      Please keep your Worksheets W1 and W2 from Micro Certificate 1 at hand. Everything here builds on them.

      Learning outcomes of this micro certificate

      1. Write a four-clause assessment brief that produces individual, non-divisible evidence of Collaboration.
      2. Adapt the four-criterion, four-level rubric descriptors to your own discipline, with levels separated by quality of reasoning.
      3. Audit your own Collaboration design against the five ways an alignment claim fails, and plan its moderation.
    • How this course works
      This micro certificate has three modules (Modules 4 to 6). Each takes about one hour and follows the same pattern: a short introduction video, a lecture video, module notes, an activity in Sinergi – The Collaboration Workbench, and a short quiz.

      • Activities. Open the Workbench here: [Workbench link]. Use the same device and browser as in Micro Certificate 1 so your earlier entries are still there. In Module 6 you complete My plan. Use Print or Copy as text to keep it.
      • Quizzes. Each quiz shows 5 questions drawn at random. You need 3 correct (55%) to pass, and you may retake it.
      • Badges. Each module you pass earns a UPM digital badge.

    • Post a short introduction (about 100 words) that gives:

      1. Your name, institution and discipline.
      2. The contested topic you chose in Micro Certificate 1 (or one you will use now).
      3. The two activities you planned: one practice, one assessed.

      Then reply to one participant from a different discipline: could four cooperative students finish their assessed activity by dividing the work?
