Identify Talent Based on What People Know and Can Do
Mastery Transcript Consortium
Mastery Transcript Consortium is a coalition of forward-looking schools that believe all children are capable of learning, and that it is our job as educators to design systems that ensure they do.
They also see traditional grading systems as a barrier to that learning, which is why they’re partnering with 1EdTech to create open badges and comprehensive learner records to help learners show what they know and can do outside of those traditional systems. They believe by showing it can work, more educators and lawmakers will be ready to embrace it.
Show the Whole Learner at Every Step of Their Journey
Digital Credentials
If you really want a new system to be equitable, it needs to be scalable. It has to be available everywhere, not just in boutique-style schools on the edges. 1EdTech brings that scalability and network effect to this work.

Together We Align Learning to Workforce Needs
TrustEd Credential Coalition
As 1EdTech members, we have the opportunity to collaborate with developers and talk about use cases and what we want to see from them in the future. We have a say in the evolution of products to help make everyone successful.
When 1EdTech vets our technologies and displays them through the TrustEd Apps Management Suite in a consumer reports-type of format, it gives customers confidence in what we’re creating. It not only creates a sense of pride but also a sense that we’re doing the right things in the right way.
Cengage Group supports 1EdTech standards, not only because they believe in an open, trusted, and innovative digital edtech ecosystem, but because it’s good business.
By following technology standards that are available and work for everyone, Cengage Group can reduce the financial burden on its clients while also increasing consumer confidence in its products. Now, they’re looking to create Open Badges to increase the value of their certifications.
