[Edurne Barrenechea]: We are going to form a working group including
PDI (Teaching and Research Staff) and PAS (Administration and Services Staff).
On the technological side, it is very important
the incorporation, evidently, of the IT service.
And we also hope to collaborate with other
universities that work with our same academic ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
and our LMS (Learning Management System). Working and collaborating
closely with all the partners we have in the universities.
A challenge is that we meet the deadlines
and we are able to issue digital certificates in our use case:
a degree in Data Science and Machine Learning.
[Héctor Sánchez Santamaría]: Our idea is to start with teacher training
and continue with the training of administrative and service staff.
Next step will be lifelong learning for students,
via university's private degrees.
We would ideally end with the accreditation of bachelor's
and postgraduate degrees. At the beginning, we will rely
on the team of teachers who annually offer their courses and workshops
for the teacher training plan. And with the help of
our IT service to be able to integrate [the new digital credentials system]
with the applications we have developed
within the university: to integrate it with the APIs that
are going to be developed within the Certidigital project. Our idea is
to get each and every one of the professors, administrative and service personnel
and students understand the importance of
having: a wallet within Europass EDC platform
and then using blockchain technology. We also have to
do a lot of training in this regard.
That is our biggest challenge without a doubt.
[Iván Builes]: Our use case is relatively complex
because it aims to certify all kinds of extracurricular activities.
We have many areas of certification.
We could really say that it is a big document
that can certify a lot of areas that the student
has been working on
following his or her own interests. So we have a area of culture,
we have one area of participation, we have one area
related to sport, another area with employability....
There are a lot of areas that involve different management systems
that can go behind. Even an area related to languages.
So it makes a lot of sense on our part
to make an implementation where we first start with
one of those big areas of competence, where we already have
a management system that allows us to anchor ourselves perfectly,
to get perfectly hooked into the project and, based on that experience,
include the different areas. Our use case
can be called the "UAM Passport". One of the things
that this UAM Passport can make enormously dynamic is student participation
in all these kinds of activities. That and the employability
of course, is one of the great benefits.
[Jaime Palés]: We think that our whole internal training system
is quite mature but implemented at a very local level.
So I think this is an opportunity to extend it,
to be able to work with other universities, both Spanish and
and European universities. Our idea is to start, not to be too ambitious,
with small groups of students, a very specific course.
From there, we would extend it to
all types of accreditations, such as our own degrees
and postgraduate training courses, until we reach the official qualifications.
I think that almost everyone has use cases for official degrees,
and the truth is that I see the scenario as very far away.
But I believe that it is the goal to achieve.
[Alberto Sánchez Campos]: Our case study will be for teacher training.
In the training plan for the teaching and research staff, we will use
the micro-credentials, in order to introduce them and be able to certify
that the training has really been attended.
