MIT and the Digital Credentials Consortium developed the open source Learner Credential Wallet (LCW, https://lcw.app/) to allow learners to store, manage, and share their academic credentials, and deployed it with a number of universities. LCW supports key international standards from the World Wide Web Consortium including the Verifiable Credentials Data Model & Decentralized Identifiers v1.0.
Enabling learners to store, manage and share their academic credentials in a digital “wallet” is a key element of the broader digital credentials ecosystem. MIT and the Digital Credentials Consortium developed the open source Learner Credential Wallet (LCW, https://lcw.app/) and deployed it with a number of universities. LCW supports key international standards from W3C including the Verifiable Credentials Data Model & Decentralized Identifiers v1.0.
The session will include a brief background on the vision and values of the 12 members of the Digital Credentials Consortium, a description of the features of the Learner Credential Wallet and a live demonstration of the wallet. And the sesion will describe how the wallet exists in an ecosystem of issuing organizations, the issuance of digital academic credentials, and the verification of those credentials.
