AI and Digital Credentials

The third webinar in a series of AI workshops with the National eLearning Center in Saudi Arabia explored the dynamic world of digital credentials, focusing on their evolution, implementation, and impact. With the emergence of AI, there is a new opportunity to recognize knowledge. Our session explored how this is currently being done.

Dr. Julie Keane from Participate, Mary Hayes from Workbay, and Allison Moran from the Learning Economy provide an in-depth look at digital credentials, highlighting their journey, successes, and challenges, especially considering AI advancements. Participants learned how these credentials work practically and explored use cases ranging from the prison system to universities to employers.
