The GAOTE System
The Global Association of Online Trainers and Examiners (GAOTE) is a non-profit organization that aims to promote the quality and recognition of online education. One of its main goals is to create a universal system of academic identifiers that can be used by scholars to showcase their achievements and qualifications from different online learning platforms and institutions.
By using a unique identifier, scholars can easily link their academic records from various sources and display them in a unified and comprehensive way. This would allow them to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in a more holistic and accurate manner, compared to the traditional method of presenting certificates from individual providers. Moreover, this would also facilitate the verification and validation of academic credentials by employers, educators, and other stakeholders, as they can access the complete and verified information from a single source.
