The education sector has seen rapid transformations in recent years — predominantly as a result of advancements in technology and the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, education is more digital, more virtual and less interconnected with physical locations. However, despite these shifts and trends, education — especially at higher levels — is more important than ever.

We’re taking a closer look at key education statistics worldwide as both learners and institutions navigate increasingly digital and flexible learning environments.

As the tech revolution in education continues, and learners pursue more flexible and accessible learning opportunities, the way students demonstrate the achievement of academic milestones is changing. In the education sector today, digital badges, also called open badges, are quickly emerging as one of the most popular alternatives to traditional credentials — providing a simpler, more efficient system to display an educational accomplishment.

With a digital badging system, higher education institutions can offer learners a more flexible format to acquire knowledge — promoting higher engagement and supporting their unique lifelong learning journey.

Read on to learn more about digital badges and the benefits and potential uses of these micro-credentials for higher education institutions moving forward.

The Groningen Declaration Network is an international, nonprofit and voluntary network of organisations and individuals created to empower digital student data portability. With the expansion of digital technology and remote learning, and the growing need for flexibility and mobility within the learner experience, the GDN now consists of participants and signatories from over 29 countries worldwide. Network participants envision that students and learners across the globe should be able to digitally consult and share their authentic educational data with whomever they want, whenever they want, wherever they are located. 

Each year, the Groningen Declaration Network aims to support the academic and professional mobility needs of individuals worldwide by bringing together stakeholders at its Annual Meeting.

Education technology as an industry has seen exponential growth in recent years, and as technologies continue to evolve and organisations become increasingly reliant on these solutions, the expansion of EdTech is only expected to progress.

Traditionally, the education sector has issued paper degrees, transcripts and other academic credentials. While this continues to be a dominant medium, it remains expensive, slow and difficult for learners to share their achievements and assert their claims to knowledge in their lifelong learning journey. 

Technological change over the last twenty years has seen many institutions slowly move to issuing electronic documents, mostly as PDFs. While this begins to alleviate some of the pain points for both institutions and learners, these newer electronic credential formats still fall short of true digital representations.

Read on to learn more about how Verifiable Credentials can be used by education institutions in the long term and how learners, institutions and receivers will benefit as a result.

Over the years, education institutions have issued academic credentials on paper. While this was a sufficient way to store and disseminate credentials in the past, it has become increasingly inefficient today. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with evolving technology, has brought about digital solutions that can quickly streamline this process — that’s where digital credentials come into play.
