1EdTech Community Sessions at the 2025 Badge Summit @ CU Boulder
Beyond the Achievement: Supporting Learners with Evidence and Endorsements
Breakout Session | Date & Time TBD
Discover the transformative potential of incorporating evidence artifacts within credentials. We will discuss how endorsements can benefit both the badge itself and the individual who has earned it. Beyond merely outlining the criteria for earning a badge, providing evidence can demonstrate specific skills and accomplishments, creating a more comprehensive picture of a learner's capabilities for employers and educational institutions. Endorsements present an opportunity for third parties to validate both the credential and its holder. In this session, we will explore ways to enhance your badges, offering greater transparency, trust, and opportunities for learners in the digital age.

Ask Me Anything ¦About Open Standards for Microcredentials
Table Talk | Date & Time TBD
Do you have questions? Well, I've got answers! This open discussion is for anyone interested in learning more about the latest developments in Open Badges and the Comprehensive Learner Record Standard (CLR Standard). I can help you understand the difference between CLRs and LERs. We can chat about things like why open standards matter, integrating verifiable credentials into your digital ecosystem, or how to support learning mobility. I'll also connect you to resources to learn more.
