Formerly, certificates They were embodied in sheepskin, the most effective anti-fraud method for its time. However, with the arrival of paper, we evolved towards much lighter certificates that involved long transcriptions of what was being certified. And just as all formats have been evolving according to the need of the moment, today, paper is becoming increasingly obsolete, as it is lost, easily falsified and is losing its validity for the recognition of skills, since it does not meets the demands of the digital age in which we live.
Today we find ourselves in an increasingly virtual world, in which people interact and share almost all information through digital media such as email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and many other platforms. Under this context, it is necessary to communicate your value offer in the spaces that matter, especially to your target audience. And the only way to achieve this is by evolving your certification and academic recognition processes.
What are digital credentials
Digital credentials are electronic representations of achievements, learning, skills or competencies. They are issued by an educational institution to certify its users: students, teachers or its administrative staff. Digital credentials are customizable, as they include several fields that, when completed, strengthen the quality of recognition. In addition, they are portable, verifiable, secure and socializable on social networks such as LinkedIn with just one click. Acreditta’s digital credentials operate under global standards: Verifiable Credentials, Open Badges 3.0, and are issued with blockchain technology, making them impossible to falsify.
You may wonder, what benefits are there for my educational institution by adopting digital credentials? Every time a student shares a credential, they not only share your brand, but also the recognition of it in their network. This makes your educational offer more visible to your target audience. It also makes credentials a very powerful marketing tool.
Gamification of recognition
Gamification is a strategy that seeks to integrate elements of games, such as badges, to motivate people in non-gaming contexts such as education. By integrating digital credentials into your programs, you help improve the motivation, commitment and performance of your students and teachers. The transition to credentials not only simplifies internal processes, significantly reducing the administrative burden on your staff, but also generates significant savings, as it replaces manual processes with technology. In addition, it gives you the possibility of having a single place for all the information related to your accreditations. Does it sound ideal to you? Yes it is.
