DIGITAL CREDENTIALS: THE GROWTH ENGINE FOR EDTECHS

If edtechs are planning to grow fast then they need to adapt digital credentials.

If edtechs are planning to grow fast then they need to adapt digital credentials.

But how?

Well, to understand how, we need to understand what. So, Let’s understand Digital Credentials Digital credentials are digitally secured and encrypted versions of credentials. It means that before they are printed in any format, they are stored in digital ledgers & databases through various encryption methods.

For example, in blockchain-based digital credentials, the grades of a credential along with various details of the student are entered into the blocks along with time stamps.

At the end of a course, all these details are consolidated into one digital entry and it’s given a public and private key. Once a credential is established on the blockchain, all that an issuer needs to do is create a visual format of the credential.

This can be done in various ways such as pdf, XML, or any other protected format.

Now the student can share this visual copy of the credential with recruiters and other institutes who can verify their authenticity in a matter of minutes.

Even if the student loses the visual copy of the credential, they can share the public key address of their credential and all details can be retrieved from the blockchain database for verification. Applications such as TruScholar provide these verification options.

The best part about blockchain-powered digital credentials is that once they are established on the digital network, they can never be removed, tampered with, or manipulated.

They will remain secure forever and make it easier for issuance & verification for all the stakeholders involved.

How does this make a difference?

Currently, EdTech is on a growing trend. However, there is a lot of competition.

At the same time, there is an increase in the number of fake credentials in India.

Also, EdTech companies give out their certifications and credentials in pdf copies. The problem with this is that they can be easily manipulated or forged.

This will result in a lot of damage to the institute’s brand value over time.

So, in order to stay ahead of the competition, protect the value and increase brand awareness, edtechs need to adapt blockchain-based digital credentials immediately.

That’s the way ahead.

However, what kind of growth will edtechs experience because of this?

The Resultant Growth

Word of mouth is currently the most important way that edtechs gain prominence.

The moment an edtech starts providing robust digital credentials, the word of it will spread like wild fire and in a positive way.

Because, as mentioned earlier, digital credentials are futuristic, simple and easy to use. It makes the lives of students easier.

So, they will spread the word to near and dear.

Also, word of mouth is primary driver for EdTech adoption according to INC42’s latest edtech survey. At the same time, marketing and advertising efforts can now display the new advancement.

As a result, EdTech institutions will see a great growth in enrollments, onboarding, and graduates.

TruScholar To Enable the Growth

TruScholar is India’s first platform that is designed to address the credential issues of universities, institutions, and edtech companies across India.

We are on a mission to digitize credentials with blockchain technology and also remove fake credentials completely.

WHAT ARE DIGITAL CREDENTIALS: A GUIDE FOR STARTERS

Digital Credentials: Why do you need to know? We live in a digitized world. From food to finding a new home and everything in between, they are all available now at the click of..

So why should credentials be left out?

Well, if you look at it that way then it will not make a lot of sense.

Therefore, before we explain the what, let’s decipher the why. There are predominantly three reasons why we need digital credentials at this time:

They are the most important documents of our life. They determine our path as well as our destiny. However, these documents are often in

harm’s way. They are either lost, stolen, manipulated or forged. This can create nightmares in our lives. So, we need to digitize our credentials so they will remain secure forever.

The current process of issuing, storing and verifying credentials is painful, to say the least. We need a process that is faster, secure, and easily accessible from anywhere. Digital credentials make it possible.

Now, if you have to move to a different country for education or work, you have to go through a tedious transcription process. However, with digital credentials transcription can be done in a matter of minutes. It also helps institutes establish efficient processes for transcription.

These are three reasons why we need digital credentials. They are quite important at this time, especially in India. Now,

Let’s understand Digital Credentials

Digital credentials are digitized versions of your credentials.

That’s exactly what it is at a high level. But it is not that simple and they’re definitely not scanned pdf copies of paper-based credentials.

Let’s take a deep dive.

While creating digital credentials, all of your grades including registration numbers, attendance, and various other details are added to digital

databases. These databases are encrypted and securely stored so only those with permissions can access them.

That’s the first step.

Once these details are added to digital databases, the next step is to create a visual display of these credentials. This is when institutes create digital copies as well as printable formats with passwords and issue them to the students.

Students, who are now credential holders, can then send these digital copies to verifiers and transcription agencies. They can also determine who should gain access to their credentials and who should not.

That’s gaining complete control of credentials. That’s the second step.

Now, we can push this up a notch further with…

Blockchain-powered Digital Credentials

Now the difference between other technologies and blockchain technology is the security. Data stored on the blockchain can never be tampered with

because of its infrastructure. Blockchain technology is also known as distributed ledger technology.

This means that data is distributed and not stored in one place, therefore it cannot be destroyed or manipulated. It’s not a centralized technology, it is a decentralized technology.

This means nobody owns the blockchain but everybody can access and work with the blockchain.

And as the word suggests, a blockchain is a chain of digital blocks with data, transactions, and information, that are connected to each other. The entire blockchain as a file is stored across multiple anonymous nodes that manage and maintain the blockchain.

These are a few reasons why blockchain-based digital credentials are the most secure and they will remain intact forever.

So, Why TruScholar?

Finally, we come to the conclusion but with the most important point.

TruScholar is one of the pioneers in India in creating digital credentials and the only platform that combines blockchain technology, SaaS technology, and mobile technology to create a robust but super easy solution.

From students to institutes and verifiers, anybody can use the TruScholar platform in digitizing credentials by following simple steps.

A SALUTE TO BLOCKCHAIN ON NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY DAY

Web 3.0 and blockchain are the future. They are game-changing. More so, in these pandemic times, when online education and digitization have become the new normal even as the dark side of the cyber world lurks in the shadows.

There is no escaping that in India, many “degree mills” providing illegitimate academic degrees, diplomas, or PhDs exist. Even though, presenting fake degree certificates is a punishable offence, under the Fraud Act, 2006, that can result in imprisonment of up to ten years.

As recently as a year ago, an Ahmedabad gang was busted by the police for issuing fake SSC and HSC hall tickets. Students bought a ticket for a sum of Rs.3000/- The gang would scan an original hall ticket, and print it (in color) along with the dummy candidate’s photo, recreating the school seal and principal’s sign over the fake proof. Fraudulent crimes are growing at an alarming rate globally even as governments, institutions, and media work to reduce them. So rampant are the transgressions that the global fraud detection and prevention market size is being projected to touch USD 45800 million by 2027 – up from USD 16390 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 15.3% for the forecast period 2021-22.
