DXtera Guide: Digital Credentialing: Data, Systems, Process, and Security Considerations for Higher Education
DXtera is proud to collaborate with the Strada Education Foundation and colleagues from across the education ecosystem to produce our new publication, as part of the National Learning Mobility Collaborative.
Requirements Management
Our Comprehensive Program Requirements initiative develops integration and infrastructure to harvest degree requirements from existing systems of records and make this critical data available to pathway, advising and analytics applications through the CampusAPI Requisite service model.
Learner Record Gateway Project
Solving the “First Mile” of Institutional Record Sharing
Shortening the Distance to Interoperability
DXtera Institute hosts a community and an annual Forum to shift the market with collective action. The community and events provide for action-oriented discussions among doers and innovators who are seeking to create the next generation of solutions and standards to support the demand side of the education experience. We explore ways to develop standards and open source solutions built to a standard that can shorten the distance to interoperability for data utilization across the education ecosystem.
Uncover Your Institution’s Insights & Information in Real Time
DXtera Institute is a non-profit, collaborative member-based consortium dedicated to transforming student and institutional outcomes in higher education. We specialize in helping higher education professionals drive more efficient access to information and insights for effective decision-making and realize long-term cost savings by simplifying and removing barriers to systems integration and improving data aggregation and control.
Integration Solutions That Are Efficient, Transparent, and Sustainable
For higher education professionals, DXtera Institute are the systems integration experts who are passionate about simplifying integrations, enabling systems to adapt and evolve with new technologies, and increasing institutions’ data capacity while reducing costs and dependencies.
Data Management Solutions
The value of information comes from its use. The more questions that get answered for more people, the higher the value you are getting from your data. The most valuable questions are the ones that directly affect a business decision. If the information being processed does not change what your organization is doing then it’s really not that helpful.
Next Generation Education Solutions
The vision of Next Generation Educational Systems is characterized by a departure from traditional, monolithic systems towards ecosystems of educational applications and enterprise infrastructure services that allow for a broadening marketplace of solutions and increased consumer choice.
Integration Solutions
DXtera’s Integration Framework is designed to facilitate secure, extensible and scalable real-time information exchange between educational enterprise systems and the software applications that require access to the functionality and information provided by those systems.
“As President of Motlow State Community College, I have seen firsthand the transformative work of the DXtera Institute. At DXtera, we don’t just imagine the future of credentials—we engineer it together, weaving technology, higher education, and human ingenuity into opportunities that lift every student across every discipline. What makes this work powerful is the spirit of collaboration: no single institution can build the future alone. By bringing educators, technologists, and thought leaders together, DXtera has created a circle of trust where creativity thrives. In this model, credentials become living bridges—connecting talent, skills, and knowledge to real opportunities in the global marketplace. This is not just progress; it is stewardship of a new age of recognition, belonging, and empowerment for learners everywhere.”

Tuesday Session: Digital Credentialing Part 2
Digital Credentialing: Issuance, Interoperability, and Verification Guide for Learning Mobility. At this month’s Tuesday session we will be joined by Skybridge Skills Founder, Nate Otto. He will provide an overview of Skybridge’s recent publication with the Strada Education Foundation, DXtera, and colleagues from across the education ecosystem, as part of the National Learning Mobility Collaborative. The publication, “Digital Credentialing: Issuance, Interoperability, and Verification Guide for Learning Mobility” is a technical guide to organize interoperable digital credentialing systems that power learning mobility. Please join us for a review of the guide and to provide additional input on this growing documentation of emerging best practices in digital credentialing.
