Kyvyt.fi is a national ePortfolio service in Finland used by over 31,000 students across 200 educational institutions. It was developed by Discendum, a Finnish edtech company, and is built on the open source Mahara platform. Discendum is working on improvements to Kyvyt.fi such as new group collaboration features and integration with open badges. Open badges provide a way to recognize skills online through verifiable credentials. Discendum's Open Badge Factory is a service that helps institutions manage and issue open badges.
