Insights from the 1EdTech Digital Credentials Summit

Our representative, Kevin Gray, attended part of the Digital Credentials Conference, held last week in Philadelphia by 1EdTech. Several themes stood out from the event.


First, 1EdTech has done a lot of work to create solutions for decentralized education within the US. Through CASE standards, they have created a schema that allows users to interact with state data across boundaries. Now they are looking to expand that work beyond individual states. Many of the sessions focused on the gaps between K-12 and higher ed, or higher ed and the workforce. Through solutions such as digital credentials, CASE standards, and Comprehensive Learner Records, 1EdTech is proposing an ecosystem that addresses the decentralized nature of today's education-to-workforce pipeline.


These solutions would allow learners to share a more complete story of their learning journey, incorporating not just academic skills, but also relevant life skills gained through internships, volunteerism, extracurricular activities, work, and life experiences.


Several 1EdTech standards create possible building blocks for this solution:


  1. Expanding CASE standards beyond K-12 into a global, decentralized standard used not only by school educators but also by universities, employers, and associations. CASE offers an interoperability standard that would enable digital transfer and possible alignment of learning outcomes, many of which are currently trapped in siloed documents such as PDFs and Word files issued by their respective agencies. Applying an accepted structure, along with decentralized governance, would allow these “landlocked” documents to interact digitally and enable all stakeholders to identify and engage with the intersections between, say, a K-12 learning standard, a higher ed learning outcome, and a workforce expectation.

  2. Solidifying an ecosystem of trust and verification around digital badges and credentialing. Digital badges, stored in a digital wallet, can present a fuller picture of a student, job candidate, or employee. Despite a massive increase in badge issuance, questions of value and trust among those who would consume them remain. Several sessions explored how to ensure and embed value into credentials, including 3rd-party validation models. IEEE led a particularly promising session on the work they are doing in this space within the workforce arena.

  3. Comprehensive Learner Records offer a place to store and share credentials and achievements for individuals at all levels, students through employees, though, like the items above, open questions around widespread adoption remain.

The efforts outlined are ambitious, but 1EdTech is also taking bold steps to ensure success. Most notably, 1EdTech is not working in isolation; the organization is collaborating closely with the Ed-Fi Alliance, Open HR, and numerous other like-minded organizations. This collaboration shows real promise and mirrors the spirit of cooperation among the member companies within 1EdTech itself.
