This report is an excellent analysis of the state of LERs as W3C VCs (Verifiable Credentials) and Digital Wallets. It stresses the opportunities for impact: Lifelong Learning, Individual Agency & Control, Privacy, and Universal Accessibility. For those of you seeking some guidance on vendor selection, the Vendor Selection Toolkit offers common questions and answers that can get you started. Great work Sharon Leu and Joan Lee!

I’m excited to be a panelist at the upcoming Executive Next Practices ReINVENT Work Summit at UCI Beall Applied Innovation on February 27th. I’m particularly delighted by the format which is focused on sophisticated discussion and insights that can be directly applied to a wide range of industries. Every participant will leave with information they can use right away! (A key #continuingeducation attribute, I might add) I’ll be speaking about the importance of leaning into our truly human qualities and authentic connections while leveraging technology and #ai to do the dirty work. The lineup of speakers looks fantastic and I’m particularly excited to hear from Dean Ian O. Williamson.
