Blockcerts is an open standard for creating, issuing, viewing, and verifying blockchain-based certificates. These digital records are registered on a blockchain, cryptographically signed, tamper-proof, and shareable. The goal is to enable a wave of innovation that gives individuals the capacity to possess and share their own official records.
The Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) is an education data management initiative whose purpose is to streamline the understanding of data within and across P20W institutions and sectors. The CEDS initiative includes a common vocabulary, data models that reflect that vocabulary, tools to help education stakeholders understand and use education data, an assembly of metadata for other education data initiatives, and a community of education stakeholders collaborate to expand the standard and implement CEDS-based solutions.
The Europass Learning Model aims to capture the results of any non-formal and formal learning across Europe, as well as the validation of non-formal and informal learning. It is designed to provide a single format to describe certificates of attendance, examination results, degrees and diplomas, diploma supplements, professional certifications, employer recommendations and any other kind of claims that are related to learning. The ELM specification is available on GitHub.
A diploma, academic degree, certification, qualification, badge, etc., that may be awarded to a person or other entity that meets the requirements defined by the credentialer.
OneRoster, developed by 1EdTech, is a standardized specification designed to facilitate the secure and efficient exchange of roster-related data, course information, and academic performance metrics within K-12/ Primary/ Secondary educational environments. It establishes a structured data model encompassing entities such as users (students and instructors), courses, enrolments, organizational hierarchies, and grade records, ensuring robust interoperability between disparate systems like Student Information Systems (SIS) and Learning Management Systems (LMS). The current iteration, OneRoster 1.2, provides three modular services—Rostering, Gradebook, and Assessment Results—delivered through a RESTful API with JSON payloads or as CSV files for bulk data transfer, allowing institutions to adopt specific components as required. By leveraging these services, OneRoster automates data synchronization, enhances data integrity, and supports real-time updates, serving as a critical framework for integrating heterogeneous edtech solutions and optimizing digital learning ecosystems across European contexts and beyond.
Broad set of standards to support the educational development of health professionals:
The Schools Interoperability Framework, Systems Interoperability Framework (UK), or SIF, is a data-sharing open specification for academic institutions from kindergarten through workforce. This specification is being used primarily in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand; however, it is increasingly being implemented in India, and elsewhere.
