***VIEW SESSION RECORDING***

Credential evaluators have worked on ways to navigate, capture, and share information about digital student data (DSD). In 2017 TAICEP co-organized a symposium in which participants addressed issues in DSD that impact evaluators. Key points raised included the need for more tools as well as a stronger voice in addressing what was happening. In response the TAICEP DSD Task Force was formed and has subsequently developed best practices and hosted a Digital Docs Provider Fair that gave providers an opportunity to present their services and to interact with the credential evaluation community. Further, the Task Force developed a robust online tool. This tool, created specifically for credential evaluators, is a global source of information about document and verification providers. Ultimately its goal is to compile information about data providers in one integrated and centralized database. The presenters describe this new resource, including the information captured, how it's maintained, the criteria for inclusion, and other characteristics. Join this session to not only learn about the tool but to provide feedback and offer suggestions.
