Overview

The Credential Registry Badge Publisher Tool, developed by Credential Engine, helps organizations publish detailed Open Badge information within the Credential Registry. This tool allows issuers to map badge metadata to the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL) and link badges to other credentials, competencies, and learning resources. Through options to import from Canvas Credentials, Credly, or JSON files, the tool facilitates badge discovery and enhances transparency, making credentials more accessible to learners and employers.
