Join us on August 22 for the next webinar in the GDN Conversation Series with Meg Wenger, Senior Director of Information and Knowledge, Educational Credential Evaluators Inc.

In Dutch, there is a saying: “Trust arrives on foot and leaves on horseback” (Johan Thorbecke).This is true even more so when it comes to the credential assessment field. In this webinar, we will explore how technology innovation, privacy regulations and mutual recognition are catalyzing important questions for credential evaluators in the present day that potentially erode trust. These disruptions are causing a foundational shift that may be out of alignment with what higher education institutions, regulatory bodies and employers are expecting and needing from a credential evaluation.

As one core example, technology is enabling selective disclosure which is a core component of new privacy regulations.

-What does this mean for the future of credential assessment?
-How does a credential evaluator deal with an academic credential that contains partial information?
-How will the expectations from the demand side – regulatory bodies, employers, government – impact credential assessment when selective disclosure becomes a normal practice?

In this new age, core assumptions are being challenged and yet a tension emerges for credential evaluators as they still need to deliver informed credential evaluations that meet the expectations of their client groups otherwise trust in their work becomes eroded. Join the conversation and lend your voice and expertise as we work together to explore these trust dimensions.

This webinar is provided for free by the GDN Network and partners.
