SEATTLE: March 11, 2025: Digital Knowledge, a pioneer in e-learning over the past three decades, is partnering with Indicio to improve the use of verifiable digital credentials for educational achievements. The Japanese company will use Indicio Proven to add a digital wallet to its Skill+ platform, allowing individuals and organizations to collect Open Badges from multiple platforms and simplify their use and verification.
By incorporating Indicio Proven, Digital Knowledge will be able to offer its customers Open Badges 3.0, the field-leading digital credential format for educational credentials, grades, certificates, diplomas, and attestations of skills.
Open Badges 3.0 allows people to directly store digital proofs of their achievements locally on their mobile devices and share them directly with employers and institutions in a way that can be independently verified. This significantly enhances their usability, as the holder of an Open Badge isn’t depending on a third party for hosting and verification, and an employer or school can instantly authenticate the information in the Open Badge.
With the Indicio Proven digital wallet, all of these credentials are easily managed in a secure, privacy preserving way, making it easier for people to share skills and achievements across various platforms.
“The expansion in e-learning, especially around micro-credentials, needs an expanded, efficient, and simple way for people to hold and share these qualifications, and this is what we are providing in partnership with Digital Knowledge,” said Heather Dahl, CEO of Indicio. “Open Badges 3.0 brings significant advantages in usability, security, and privacy. People now have a fast, convenient, and secure way to hold and share their achievements as they progress through their schooling and careers. No need to wait for a university to dig out a paper copy of a diploma or transcript. Issue an Open Badge once, share as often as you want from your phone, verify anywhere in seconds.”
