“…Higher education must abandon conventional methods and adopt a customized, industryfocused strategy to close the skills gap between industry needs and student abilities. According to competency ratings, the research suggests employing learning analytics to recommend personalized micro-credentials (Messaoud et al, 2022). The major problem studied in the research by Mardisentosa et al (2021) is the need for assessment and management systems that ensure the confidentiality, permanence and transparency of student documents in microcredentialing using blockchain technology.…”

PurposeThis study examined the factors impeding the implementation of micro-credentials and accepting it as a credible source of earning professional qualifications and certifications necessary for pursuing higher education or other career goals.Design/methodology/approachThe factors were identified by reflecting on the recent literature and Internet resources coupled with in-depth brainstorming with experts in the field of micro-credentials including educators, learners and employers. Two ranking methods, namely Preference Ranking for Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis (MOORA), are used together to rank the major challenges.FindingsThe results of this study present that lack of clear definitions, ambiguous course descriptions, lack of accreditation and quality assurance, unclear remuneration policies, lack of coordination between learning hours and learning outcomes, the inadequate volume of learning, and lack of acceptance by individuals and organizations are the top-ranked and the most significant barriers in the implementation of micro-credentials.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings can be used by educational institutions, organizations and policymakers to better understand the issues and develop strategies to address them, making micro-credentials a more recognized form of education and qualifications.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study is to identify the primary factors influencing the implementation of micro-credentials from the educators', students' and employers' perspectives and to prioritize those using ranking methods such as PROMETHEE and MOORA.

This chapter explores how the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-managed learning analytics and micro-credentials can enhance student engagement and retention in higher education. The authors analyze the growing role of AI in monitoring student learning behaviors, providing real-time feedback, and enabling personalized interventions. They discuss the potential of micro-credentials, particularly digital badges, to motivate learners by recognizing their accomplishments and encouraging skill development. While these technologies present transformative opportunities, challenges such as data privacy, lack of standardization, and accessibility issues are addressed. The chapter emphasizes the importance of collaboration between educators, technologists, and policymakers to implement these tools equitably and effectively, with a focus on fostering lifelong learning and student success.
