Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

The proposal here is for a range or 'spectrum' of credentials, from fully formal to quite informal, to support "recognition as a conversation, at least more than a recruitment filter! So it becomes less about how assessed micro-credentials, 'Verifiable Credentials' and 'Learning and Employment Records' will be able to get you past the filtering algorithm of an employer's Applicant Tracking System in a huge stack of resumes and more about they can become grist for career conversations, examples you can use to help tell your story, differentiate yourself, build trust, be the holistic choice that people want to make at the time of need." I do think that's a better picture - but I can imagine the employer's AI leading the conversation, looking at your online footprint, and asking for insights about such-and-such project or so-and-so experience. There might also be a human present, listening (but not asking anything, because they haven't done the research into the candidate).
