Description

Digital credentials can transform the way we recognize and validate learning by offering a secure, tamper-proof, and verifiable record of skills and accomplishments. Digital credentials can be used to enhance lifelong learning, promote employability, foster mobility, and increase transparency. The Open Badges and Comprehensive Learner Record standards are helping to ensure that digital credentials are meaningful and widely recognized, while The DC4EU project is working to establish a European framework for issuing, storing, and managing digital credentials.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk

Audience will be able to learn about some initiatives on digital credentials in the field of education, from the definition of a credential using the Open Badges specification, the grouping of credentials using the Comprehensive Learner Record specification, to the infrastructure, from technological to legal, in Europe as a result of the DC4EU project.
