Imagine if students
left high school with
a secure, permanent digital record of all
their accomplishments — their academic achievement, extra- curricular experiences, community service and more — that followed them throughout college and into the workplace. Every new degree, certification, digital badge or other honor they earned throughout their lives would be added to this record
like links in a chain,
and these credentials would be tamper-proof to give employers some assurance that students actually earned them.
