Alternative credentialing has been a part of higher education for decades, and they're picking up speed as modern learners demand more short-term, flexible options from their institutions. On this episode, Mark Leuba, Vice President for Product Management at IMS Global Learning Consortium, talks about the current state of credentialing and how to drive student success with innovation.

Many leaders in education believe there are better ways to represent a student's journey through their K-12 education than letter grades. But what might a richer representation of a student's learning look like and what would it take for us to get there?

In this episode, Credly's VP of Technology, Alexander Hripak, talks us through the basics of Open Badge compliance.  To those new to badging, this should be a consideration in any product used to to issue or store badges.  Alex explains why and how the standards came to be.  Listeners are also introduced to IMS Global, the organization that now oversees the certification process.

According to Rob Abel of IMS Global, a non-profit collective working to advance edtech interoperability, there's a reason "interoperability" is such a buzzword. "IMS [has] been working on this for about 20 years. Interoperability is a general act of exchanging information through really any means, where standards are agreed-upon ways to exchange information," says Rob. Listen to our interview with Rob Abel, CEO of IMS Global, to learn more about how interoperability can improve education experiences for both teachers and students.

Listen into our interview with Mark Leuba, in which he tells us the steps higher education institutions are using to adapt to the times and help these alternative credentials make strides forward.
