What is a Digital Credential
A digital credential is an electronic representation of the learning acquired by an individual. Digital credentials are issued as a clickable graphic that contains an online record of:
1) an achievement;
2) the work required for the achievement;
3) evidence of such work; and
4) information about the issuing organization (York University).
York University through the Faculty of Health professional development division (HLLN) offers students, alumni and friends in the broader community the possibility to apply and earn digital credentials.
Watch this video where Tania Xerri, Director of HLLN, tells us more about digital credential(s).
