| Member | An individual whose email address is included in a listserv. |
| Microcredential | A microcredential is a cluster of learning experiences that focus on developing a particular set of skills and include some element of application. Microcredentials provide formal recognition of completion of these experiences and generate a badge. Geneseo-issued microcredentials adhere to SUNY Microcredential Definition and Terms. Through established governance processes, Geneseo approved integrative curricular microcredentials (ICMs) in spring 2020 and has been offering them on an ongoing basis since. ICMs have a curricular foundation (6-12 credits of coursework) and require completion of an applied learning experience with a self-reflective component. ICMs generate a transcript notation and a badge; other types of microcredentials do not generate a transcript notation. At Geneseo, Credly badges for microcredentials will be designed to easily distinguish them from other types of badges. |

| Moderator | Individual(s) responsible for maintaining appropriate protocols for a particular listserv. May also approve messages sent via the listserv. |
