Integration with Digital Platforms
Open access identifiers can be integrated into various digital formats, including digital badges, QR codes, and blockchain records. This allows learners to showcase their certified achievements on resumes, portfolios, and social media platforms.

The adoption of open access identifiers offers multiple advantages:

• Cost Efficiency: It eliminates the need for costly verification processes.
