Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a computer-optimized academic credential structure, model and processes, with academic integrity, and associated marketing, for existing or new programs at regionally and nationally accredited and other postsecondary, higher education institutions. In one illustrative embodiment, an academic structure is provided to allow student's individually generated content from parts of multiple courses to be aggregated into a new academic credential, the focus credential. In another illustrative embodiment, a developed and highly innovative computer-enabled Internet-optimized academic credential model and processes, with academic integrity, for existing or new programs at regionally and nationally accredited and other postsecondary, higher education institutions is provided. This model allows a postsecondary student to earn an individualized credential within existing academic program formats.
