Indiana Appathon: Credential Data LaB 

Credential Engine is a non-profit whose mission is to create credential transparency, reveal the credential marketplace, increase credential literacy, and empower everyone to make more informed decisions about credentials and their value.

Credential Engine

Credential Engine, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, and event partner Learning Tapestry are co-hosting the Indiana App-athon: Credential Data Learn and Build (LaB), a two-day event that will bring together technologists, developers, educators, state agency personnel, and others to demonstrate what innovations are possible with open, transparent credential data in Indiana and beyond.
 
Building off Credential Engine’s first <A HREF="https://credentialengine.org/2018/12/14/credential-registry-learn-and-build-summit-brings-new-ideas-to-the-credential-marketplace/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn and Build Summit</A>, this event will reveal a range of applications and data services that will change how students, workers, employers, youth, veterans, and many others engage with credential data. Indiana higher education institutions have published 3,000+ credentials to the <A HREF="https://credentialengine.org/about/credential-registry-overview/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Credential Registry</A> - and these data are available for developers to use in various tools that help users make sense of the credential marketplace.
 
Supported by JPMorgan Chase & Co., this event is the second in a national series that will advance Credential Engine’s open application marketplace and grow the community of developers working with Registry data to build applications. The LaB will engage participants along two tracks: developing applications and publishing credential data to the Registry.

Track 1  will support the exploration, prototyping, and building of applications that enable students or other stakeholders to seamlessly navigate Indiana or national data available in the Registry.
 
Track 2   will accelerate the publishing of rich, transparent credential data to the <A HREF="https://credentialengine.org/about/credential-registry-overview/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Credential Registry</A> by helping credential providers identify and understand publishing options.
