Working Group Title: Education Architecture
Introduction.
Education today is an experience that spans multiple, traditional education segments and that is lifelong and lifewide. Digital tools have enabled students to curate personalized learning paths based on their individual interests and needs, earning credentials, badges, and certifications from an increasingly diverse set of learning providers. These tools also have the potential to empower the most traditionally disadvantaged of students by giving them ownership of these achievements and the ability to display these as they pursue their goals in a changing workforce.

Collaborators (other groups)
The Education Architecture Working Group will collaborate with other existing or future Hyperledger and other blockchain working groups focused on Education and Training (curriculum focused).
The Education Architecture Working Group will also collaborate and share community development and standards work in credentialing and interoperability with appropriate standards bodies and groups interested in (1) DIDs; (2) data security; and (3) privacy policy. This includes groups working on DLT other than Hyperledger, such as Ethereum or other blockchains.
Other Industry Affiliations may include: We will reach out to other industry groups to determine their interest in participating.
