Creative Commons will be developing new trainings to continue providing the most relevant and up-to-date content. These trainings, which we aim to offer in 2027, will likely be two-week courses that offer a digital recognition, or microcredential, upon successful completion.

Help inform the future trainings by completing this short (1 to 2 minutes) survey on professional development needs, subject matter, and learning formats.

Community input on Creative Commons trainings with microcredentials

Creative Commons (CC) aims to provide community members new learning opportunities, based on the most relevant, up-to-date content. We will be developing new trainings, which we aim to offer in 2027. These will likely be two-week courses that offer a digital recognition, or microcredential, upon successful completion. This survey is intended to gather community feedback on general needs and interests related to the future trainings we develop. Questions in the first section focus on professional development needs, subject matter, and formats for learning. Questions in the second section focus on microcredential interests in particular. We anticipate it taking 1-2 minutes of your time. Your feedback in both sections will help inform our future offerings. Please respond by 1 July. Thanks in advance!
