006 - The Digital Credentials Explosion - David Kinsella Everitas

Digital credentials or ‘badging’ promises to transform education and training by turning the knowledge and skills we possess into a digital form that is more relevant to modern employers. But what does this mean for educators and are digital credentials about to explode?

On this episode of WorkED Marc Washbourne sits down with self-confessed digital credentials evangelist David Kinsella of Everitas (an affiliate of US-based Credly in Australia) for an exclusive insider’s view of the digital credential revolution about to shake up Australian education.

From what digital credentials are (and what they’re not) to how leading brands like IBM and RMIT are using them to run better businesses, Marc and David reveal the secrets of digital credentialing success and how savvy educators can begin to unlock their power today.

What are the ‘10 Commandments of Digital Credentialing’? What will a future with digital credentials look like in five to ten years? And what will the coming explosion mean for the way educators, students and employers will interact to create lifelong learning?

Find out the answers to these question and more on this episode of WorkED.
