REIMAGINE NEWSLETTER: ISSUE 20
THE TOWSON UNIVERSITY INCUBATOR
ACCREDIBLE NAMED OUR OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION PARTNER
Dear Reimaginers,
As QS Quacquarelli Symonds – co-organizers of the Reimagine Education Conference and Awards – have recently launched the 2018 edition of the QS Best Student Cities Ranking, your bimonthly newsletter is briefer than usual.
We have only one very special announcement to make, which is that we’re delighted to announce that we can now confirm the official Reimagine Education certification partner for the 2018 Awards and Conference: industry credentialing leader Accredible.
Accredible will be providing blockchain secured, digital certificates to the finalists of the Awards and a digital badge to all attendees to showcase the success and expertise of delegates, judges and award winners.
In doing so, Accredible will continue their work to unite technological innovation and education, which has enabled educational institutions to automate time-consuming certification issuing processes, save time and money, and foster more sustainable certification processes.
Alan Heppenstall, CTO at Accredible, said: “Reimagine brings together the world’s thought leaders in education to learn about, guide and judge the most exciting innovations & research in the industry. We’re excited to support and enhance their incredible impact and their continued progress on the mission to share best practices for pedagogical advancements.”
All of us at Reimagine Education are delighted to continue working with Accredible, and are pleased to be able to offer all of our trailblazers – judges, delegates, and award winners alike – a certificate commensurate with their own capacity for creative, disruptive innovation.
To learn more about Accredible’s work and to discover what you could gain from working with them, check out their website. To give yourself a shot at earning one of their official Reimagine Education certificates, apply for the awards today!
