TCC Digital Credentials

TCC issues microcredentials to TCC Online Conference participants based on achievement or by nominations from other attendees. Did you really enjoy a certain presentation?

Other microcredentials are earned by engaging with others in discussion threads, blog posts, and involving social media in your conference experience.

These digital credentials are designed around the goals and values of the TCC Online Conference to celebrate professional development, empower global community-building, while increasing our knowledge of the use of modern technology for teaching, learning, creative expression and enabling learners to develop 21st Century Skills.
