What’s a Digital Credential?
A digital photo taken on a camera or phone, has an image but also lots of other information (~ metadata) baked into it… A Digital Credential is similar…
How Does it Work?
A digital credential is a digital badge or certificate…
…it has an image and when you click on it, you get lots more information – or metadata – such as who earned the credential, what they had to do to earn it, who issued it and so on. Because its digital everything is “clickable” – so its easy to find out more.
Digital Credentials came from work that the Mozilla Foundation sponsored in 2011. The idea being to develop an open standard that could be used to recognise and share a persons experience, expertise etc. That’s the genesis of the Open Badge Standard.
I like to think of digital credentials in terms of a badge. The good thing about a badge is that everyone understands how they work – its simple, you find out the criteria, complete them, prove what you have done and whoever owns the badge, awards you your badge which you can proudly display.
