Empower learners through skill and achievement recognition.
As part of our comprehensive credentialing ecosystem, alongside the Trusted Learner Network (TLN) and ASU Pocket, CredID is ASU’s in-house platform to streamline the process of creating and awarding digital credentials, and for learners to validate and share their skills and achievements.

CredID supports a feature set similar to what you may already be used to with other credentialing platforms. Issuers can create and award digital credentials and manage staff members within their issuer. Learners can claim digital credentials they’ve earned and share them in multiple ways.
CredID currently supports the following features:
In the future, CredID will include features such as:
ASU students, faculty, and staff can sign in to CredID using their ASURITE. Non-ASU users can sign in through their Google or Apple account, or create an account via email and password.
After signing in for the first time, users will be awarded a Welcome to CredID credential, which provides an introduction to the anatomy of a digital credential.

A digital credential is an award that indicates an accomplishment or skill that can be displayed, accessed, and verified online.
Digital credentials help learners by empowering them to more easily articulate their achievements and collect a record of what exactly they have accomplished after completing an experience.
Digital credentials should be awarded to recognize knowledge, skills, experiences, and accomplishments that a learner would want to share with an employer or educational institution, among other entities.
Some possible experiences to which you could attach a digital credential include:
Issuers may represent an individual, a course, an instructor, a department, a school, or an organization at ASU. Whatever or whoever they represent, an issuer’s purpose is to provide consistency across all credentialing efforts involved. A standardized system will help create a set of guidelines and standards that will align credentials, ensuring appropriate criteria, branding, and officiation of all credentials set forth by those represented.
