1EdTech Community Sessions at the 2025 UPCEA Annual Conference
Advancing Digital Credentials in Higher Education: A Deep Dive into Standards and Best Practices
Workshop | Date & Time TBD
With the combined expertise of the Digital Credentials Consortium (DCC) and 1Edtech’s TrustEd Microcredential Coalition, this workshop will share standards-based approaches to issuing digital credentials that are trustworthy, portable, and meaningful. Evidenced by deployments and case studies conducted at higher education institutions that leverage the DCC’s open source software for issuing W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and the TrustEd Microcredential Framework for embedding valuable, rich data in microcredentials, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to create and implement digital credentials tools and frameworks that unlock opportunities for learners.
