AACRAO will be hosting a webinar on September 27, 2023, discussing the State of Digital Credentials in the AACRAO Community. It is free to attend and open to all AACRAO members and the public. Register today to learn more about digital and alternative credentials.
The webinar will feature Mark McConahay, Sr. Consultant and Digital Credential Coordinator at AACRAO, and Brenda Selman, Assistant Vice Provost and University Registrar, University of Missouri-Columbia. They will focus on sharing the results from the survey AACRAO conducted in June 2023.
The brief survey looked into the status of alternative and digital credentials and the mechanisms used to record and share this learning within its community in the United States and Canada. It garnered 322 responses from 48 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and five Canadian provinces. The results of the survey will provide a valuable benchmark for AACRAO as it continues to work with its members to navigate the evolving landscape of digital credentials.
