2026 Badge Summit

This session shares the story of how Education Design Lab, with support from Axim, is building a national, open access library of durable skills learning resources, performance-based assessments, and credentials. The session will trace why the Lab + Axim launched this work, how a diverse network of community colleges, technical schools, and online institutions are involved, and what it will take for institutions to embed these resources into existing programs and pathways. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of next steps for accessing and embedding the durable skills OER into their own context.
