Edalex integrates CanCred to Credentialate to make skills more visible
CanCred by Learning Agents, a leading Canadian cloud service connecting skills performance and careers through the recognition power of digital credentials, announced today that Edalex has connected CanCred Factory to its Credentialate skills data “plumbing” platform, offering organizations a robust and flexible solution for issuing Open Badges to make skills more visible, supported by authentic evidence.
This partnership builds upon Learning Agents’ existing relationship with Edalex, expanding the capabilities of CanCred to provide even greater control and customisation in the issuance of digital credentials. Credentialate generates a personalized evidence record for each learner. This evidence record can now be embedded within a CanCred Factory Open Badge-compliant digital credential. This capability is now also available on Open Badge Factory, CanCred’s technology twin platform in Europe.
Credentialate provides a number of key benefits, including:
- Capturing siloed learner performance data from multiple platforms
- Mapping performance data to skills frameworks
- Generating and embedding Personal Evidence Records for verifiable recognition across “learn and earn” ecosystems
- Providing badge issuers with data-driven evidence of learning outcomes achieved and real-world value of their badges, strengthening their impact
“The integration with Edalex’s Credentialate is a natural progression of our shared commitment to advancing digital credentialing,” said Don Presant, President of Learning Agents. “By combining the robust capabilities of Credentialate with the proven Open Badge issuing features of CanCred Factory, we are empowering organizations to create and manage digital credentials with unprecedented efficiency and adaptability. And, because CanCred is powered by Open Badge Factory (OBF) technology, OBF badge issuers will also benefit.”
“We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with Learning Agents and integrate with CanCred Factory and Open Badge Factory,” said Dan McFadyen, Managing Director of Edalex. “This collaboration provides our Credentialate users with even greater security and control over their digital credentials. The seamless combination of Credentialate with CanCred Factory delivers a powerful and flexible solution for Canada and beyond.”
