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.

Does this mean i won’t have to have 26 login names and passwords to remember??? Or am I misunderstanding this concept?

I am not sure I understand the concept fully either. However, if as you say, you could have one login name and password to access everything, that would be outstanding.

That would definitely make life easier if that is the case.

I’m envisioning this one as important as building a “brand” for yourself online. I’m thinking of the YouTube personalities that have garnered a large following and promote their products. In particular I’m thinking of musicians that have used YouTube as a launching platform. But imagine that you had created enough of a following on Twitter that you were able to use that to leverage to building a product of sorts.
Think I’m on the right track?

I thinks this may create more of a transparency to who you are and what you are accomplishing ie. My marks, transcripts, schools, interests all streamlined. May be interesting to start to view oneself in this manner…
