THE CTI VISION
CTI Vision & StrategyVision: Coherent and transparent credentialing marketplace that meets the needs of students, job seekers, educators and employers Strategy: • Develop common terms for describing key features of credentials,
credentialing organizations, and quality assurance organizations — this is called Credential Transparency Description Language or CTDL
• Create voluntary, web-based Credential Registry to capture data based on the CTDL
• Develop and test a prototype application for searching the data on the Registry
• Promote competitive, open marketplace of applications based on open licensing of CTDL, the Credential Registry, and the prototype search application
• Encourage credentialing and quality assurance organizations to put data on the Registry
