The following institutions illustrate how technology solutions are being employed to incorporate incremental credentials. They provide examples of different approaches based on institutional needs and technologies available. Each example provides an overview of the institution, credentials offered, the technologies in place to support incremental credentials, key tactics, external initiatives, and lessons learned.
Some of these examples are also highlighted in the following video from the Credential As You Go Mini-Conference – Technology in fall 2022.
Credential As You Go has acquired three phases of funding to date. Lumina Foundation funded Phase I, resulting in the Incremental Credential Framework for testing. The Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education funds Phase II (Grant R305T210063), which focuses on rapid prototyping of and research on incremental credentials with a national campaign. An anonymous private donor fund at the Program on Skills, Credentials & Workforce Policy at George Washington University funds the development of the prototype Learn and Work Ecosystem Library. Walmart funds Phase III, which focuses on systems change for expansion and sustainability of incremental credentials.
