Presenters: Jeanne Kitchens, Chief Technology Services Officer, Credential Engine; Kerri Lemoie, Director, MIT Digital Credentials Consortium; Moderator: Joanne Duklas, Executive Director, The GDN Network

This session will provide a system level case example of how two organizations are working in partnership across standards and platforms to create a more interoperable and seamless experience to support learner mobility. The goal with this kind of system level work is to ensure that learners and credential evaluators and verifiers have access to the information needed to make scalable automation happen and also enable learners to have full and complete access to the right information when moving forward their education and careers.

Suggested Audience: Business and academic leaders involved in learner mobility work, course developers, registrars, and their teams, CIOs.
