The Digital Credentials Consortium (DCC) comprises 12 leading universities in North America and Europe that are building an infrastructure for digital academic credentials that can support the education systems of the future. The DCC’s goal is to create a trusted, distributed, and shared infrastructure that will become the standard for issuing, storing, displaying, and verifying academic credentials, digitally. The DCC team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will share its work developing an open source learner credential wallet, the mechanism for learners to control and share their credentials such as degrees, certificates, etc., and insights gained from piloting this technology at multiple institutes of higher education.
