The radical transformation from a traditional face-to-face classroom setting to an exclusive online learning environment substantially affected the educational systems of many countries during the pandemic by Covid-19. The inherent challenges necessitate the implementation of efficient and effective methods of delivering online distance learning to preserve classroom equilibrium, resulting in the acceptance of this form of instruction as a proven and effective alternative.
The ACUCA Micro Degree Program (MDP) was created in the summer of 2022 with unanimous approval from the Executive Committee (EXCO) to fulfill the three main objectives outlined in the existing ACUCA Constitution and By-Laws at that time of the program’s inception and implementation: to develop and maintain Christian character; to enrich the quality of their educational programs and those of the other institutions of learning; and to re-examine the relevance of their objectives and programs concerning the needs of a changing society. Two additional objectives were incorporated into the program’s rationale: to offer students from member institutions supplementary education that is not available at their home colleges or universities, and to provide credentials to enhance employability. The MDP was also created to provide a platform for the faculty members to collaborate on creating specific micro degrees to be offered in the program.
At the end of the program, the students were awarded with Micro Degree Certificate of a particular field of concentration within the specified period and have been able to complete all the requisite courses, normally two. Otherwise, a completion certificate if only one course has been complied with.
