Accredible
Accredible lets learners create a portfolio of proof for skills, projects, or online courses so they can put them on their résumé. It allows them to create knowledge profiles that show their degrees, track MOOCs, and provide evidence of their knowledge. Online and self education are an integral part of learning today. But much of it does not result in a certificate. Accredible plans to add credibility to self education by providing users with the option of creating their own certificates. These certificates are dynamic and evolving, they can be students' own notes, assignments, projects, quiz results, videos showcasing their talent, and endorsements from colleagues and industry experts. The same can be done not just for MOOCs, but for traditional university education as well. These certificates can be shared using a custom URL or through their LinkedIn profile. Accredible also summarizes each course into a 5-star rating in order to assist recruiters.
