A framework of the European guidelines on Microcredentials is presented, defining its main characteristics, namely highlighting its advantages in the context of reskilling or upskilling with a view to its applicability in the labor context. Following the guidelines of the Portuguese Ministry of Higher Education, a proposal for a Microcredential in Digital Distance Learning was developed, conceptualized for teacher training, with more than 1200 trainees already involved. The evaluation carried out by survey among trainees shows very positive results in all items assessed, with strong emphasis on the transferability and applicability of the knowledge acquired to work contexts. These results show that this course developed within the scope of Microcredentials broadly meets the needs of reskilling and upskilling, which are increasingly important in the adaptability of adults to the new challenges that digital transformation implies.Project funded by the Recovery and Resilience Program (PRR), Portugal, and the European Union - Next Generation, EUEditorial Universitat Politècnica de ValènciaEuropean CommissionRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20232023-06-16book parthttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/205526reponame:RiuNet.
