A new Credential Engine case study spotlights how Western Governors University (WGU) is using linked open data to create a more dynamic, transparent, and learner-centric ecosystem of skill recognition and career development through The Achievement Wallet.
By publishing credential and skill information as linked open data in the Credential Registry, WGU enables The Achievement Wallet to deliver meaningful, portable, and verifiable credential records. These wallets allow learners to carry their achievements with them, making it easier to pursue new opportunities, communicate skills to employers, and continue their education.
WGU’s work shows what’s possible when credential information is not just digital, but also open, structured, and connected. Linked open data powers the interoperability behind these tools and creates a foundation for lifelong learning and mobility.
