The DCC develops software and tools that make it easy for institutions to issue W3C Verifiable Credentials and 1EdTech Consortium Open Badges 3.0. And with good reason! We believe these standards offer many advantages to learners, issuers, and verifiers. We are explaining their benefits and how they work in a multi-part blog series, the first of which is now live! Check out Part 1: The Trust Model of Open Badges on our blog. https://lnkd.in/eQVxTccN

With the support of MIT Open Learning it is our pleasure to be among the sponsors in the Future of Education and Workforce track for the 2024 Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) Hackathon! This track focuses on building open source solutions that empower individuals to control their education and employment data. Full details on the hackathon challenges will be announced October 1 on DIF's website.

Thanks sharing our work Eric Sembrat, Ph.D.!

What stops employers, schools, or individuals from using learning and employment records? Digital Credentials Consortium and Jobs for the Future (JFF) recently tested what it takes to issue, claim, share, and verify these credentials.

Moving from ideation to practice, the DCC and Jobs for the Future (JFF) have conducted a series of end to end Verifiable Credentials deployments, examining the challenges and opportunities at each phase of the credential lifecycle — from issuing, to claiming, sharing and verifying.

In collaboration with Case Western Reserve University and the University of Pittsburgh we are exploring the use of AI in cultivating an equitable, data driven LER Ecosystem. Join us on Tuesday, September 17 at 1 PM ET for a webinar with the project team to learn more about how AI can be used to improve skill to job matching, preserve learner privacy, and address other challenges in the LER Ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/gpKFzDD5

Verifiable credentials let employers and schools automatically confirm applicants' experience — with a critical layer of proof. This process ensures: 1. The credentials were digitally signed by the issuer 2. The data hasn’t changed since it was signed Explore Digital Credentials Consortium's insights on the latest standards for learning and employment records: https://bit.ly/3XCXR1h #Credentials #VerifiableCredentials #DigitalCredentials #AcademicCredentials #Credentialing #OpenBadges #OBv3 #LearningAndEmploymentRecords #LERS #Certification #Jobs #Hiring #ProfessionalDevelopment #OnlineLearning #OnlineEducation #Education #HigherEducation #JobTraining #IssuerRegistry

Ensuring the authenticity of credential issuers is essential for empowering decision-makers who rely on the validity of credentials. 📣 Credential Engine and the Digital Credentials Consortium are collaborating on a project to explore the governance and technology needs for implementing issuer registries within LER ecosystems. Check out our blog to learn more about issuer registries, this project, and how you can get involved. https://lnkd.in/gM-ttfHi Check out DCC's blog, "Issuer Registries — Layering Trust for Verifiable Credential Ecosystems" https://lnkd.in/g3apCJ3W

Issuer registries have been used to provide additional layer of trust for Verifiable Credentials. The DCC and Credential Engine are on a quest to learn what this means for LERs issued as VCs.
