In this episode, I speak to Prof. Dr. Abd Karim Alias about the emergence of micro-credentials as a new form of learning or skills acquisition. Micro-credentials have shifted the world of higher education - especially coming out of the pandemic - and I am keen to understand how it can shape the way we learn for the long term. Does it compete or complement traditional higher education?  

Prof. Karim is a Professor of Food Technology at the School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Director of the Centre for Development of Academic Excellence of USM. He has been teaching at USM for over 27 years, and is a prominent advocate of lifelong learning.  His YouTube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/c/AbdKarimAlias
