This study presents a guide for higher education institutions (HEIs) and institutions with non-academic training functions. The guide aims to document the current adoption of alternative credentials, the main barriers and opportunities for institutions, and finally, offer recommendations and practical lessons for their implementation.
The Inter-American Dialogue carried out a study to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the digital strategies that HEIs in the region had already been developing. This report documents and analyzes the results of a regional survey applied to 178 HEIs conducted in 2021 and 2022.
This report aims to analyze the evaluation strategies implemented during this pandemic period, highlight good practices and offer recommendations to continue supporting diagnostic and recovery efforts in the future.
