MIT Media Lab Introduces Blockchain Technology for Credentials - EdSurge

Still think blockchain is a mythical beast? The technology just got a big endorsement from MIT’s Media Lab, which introduced a project for issuing official credentials on blockchain. MIT is working with Learning Machine, a Boston-based enterprise software company that offers solutions for enrollment management and portfolio review in addition to blockchain credentials, to build an ecosystem for issuing, displaying and verifying blockchain-based educational credentials. “Our goal is to help create an entirely new environment where individuals are the custodians of their official records and can easily share those records with others,” Learning Machine CEO Chris Jagers writes in a blog post. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2016-06-07-mit-media-lab-introduces-blockchain-technology-for-credentials
