| Notes |
The team at Concentric Sky, led by founder and CEO Wayne Skipper, believes in being open; they are passionate about the work that is being done in the digital credentials community. They backed this up by joining IMS Global as a Contributing Member in 2016 and have underscored this partnership by making key contributions from the start. Of special note, Concentric Sky’s director of Open Badges, Nate Otto, has been and continues to be a key contributor in the Open Badges Workgroup, which is now responsible for maintaining and updating the specification and related developer’s tools. And they stepped up in a big way by donating their BadgeCheck codebase so any organization wanting to utilize Open Badges has the tools to validate a badge in real-time. It is these types of contributions that are helping to advance the evolution of a learner-centered credentialing ecosystem. |
