What did we learn? Students had to figure out how to interact with the app. Learning Machine needed to further develop its dashboard, data reporting, and direct data exchange. Our internal process must be iterative and reactive to students needs. There are financial considerations for institutions. Although interest in digital credentials is evident, the definition of success from MITs use case is still to be determined.
Whats next? Increase number of students receiving digital diplomas Align process with Commencement Collaborate with other institutions and entities to encourage use of digital credentials Continue to serve and empower the student and lifelong learner Facilitate trust
