Digital Identity
The backbone of Digital Identity is the ability to employ a single, private, secure identity system as the key to enter any number of applications and environments you might have access to. In broader strokes however, especially in education, it can encompasses the ownership (by the learner) of the learning experience and the authority to broker the data, transcripts, credentials, etc, arising from that experience.
Opportunity Statement
As every individual’s learning experience is increasingly digital, bridging across formal and informal activities hosted by multiple institutions and organizations, Digital Identity venture opportunities arise for products and services which support the individual’s objectives as well as help them to seamlessly negotiate those objectives with external organizations and stakeholders.

Although I realize how important digital identity is, whether it is for ventures or directly linked to educational technology, I must say I evade it like the plague, for I find there are so many political battles related to digital identity. I find that to get interested in this subject one really has to delve into the politics of digital identity and I personally find this extremely complex. I do try to respect digital identity when using online material and hope others do the same with my own work, but that is as far (for now) as my interest goes on this subject.

I think the digital identity for the time being hails or paves the way towards creating a relentlessly materialized approached to education. Realistic modifications have to be introduced to the field in order to make it suitable for the fast-growing world of digital information and for the real needs of users (people).

Digital identity sounds like a good concept but I would always question how secure the “secure” system would be.
