Learning & Development
More and more classrooms are embracing personalized learning strategies in ways that leverage technology and honor learning as it happens.
Digital badges offer a solution to do this with validity and professionalism. They also help tell the individual story of each teacher and team member working to carve out their unique place in education.
“As a connected educator, I make it a priority to partner with education teams at companies and organizations that operate with missions and visions that align to my own. Together, I believe we can get the best solutions in front of decision-makers and students that truly meet their needs.”
– Cate Tolnai

In 2019, Cate had the pleasure of working alongside IMS Global’s open badges team to redesign the foundational content featured at openbadges.org. As the preeminent destination for the digital badging community, the website details topics which include the open badge ecosystem, micro-credential design, and the competency-based learning model supported by the Open Badge Initiative.
