Abstract:

The digital transformation is challenging various areas of our everyday lives. Central aspects of our digital identities are our knowledge and experience, asserted by certificates, references and credentials. While digital credentials have primarily started to be used in the e-government and health sectors, acceptance is more and more transferring to the education sector. Within the area of digital credentials, a multitude of different projects and initiatives exist which are hard to follow and compare. Some researchers have attempted to perform systematic literature reviews. However, the scope of the review was often limited. Therefore, we create a conceptual framework to model the requirements of a digital education credential system by following both a conceptual-to-empirical approach and an empirical-to-conceptual approach. We perform an extensive literature review, focusing on identifying needs articulated in the relevant literature. We demonstrate the applicability and usability of the framework by developing a heatmap of requirements representing the current literature landscape. In a second step, we utilised the framework to interview subject matter experts and let them prioritise requirements for a digital education credential system. By comparing the heatmap results with the prioritisation of experts, we identified requirements, which are rarely found in the literature but rated as necessary by experts—making it most likely that they are typically overlooked when a new system is designed. We identified necessary, desirable and overlooked requirements and gave an indicator for prioritisation in our framework.
