What is the ELM?
En europeisk digital referens för lärande (EDC, European Digital Credential for Learning) är en verifierbar, digital version av en referens som utfärdats av en organisation till studerande för att dokumentera deras lärande. Det kan röra sig om ett examensbevis, ett utbildningsbevis, en mikromerit, ett deltagandeintyg m.m. Referensen kan utfärdas på alla EU- och Europass-språk och signeras med en elektronisk stämpel (en form av digital signatur som tillhör en betrodd institution eller organisation).

What is the ELM?
The European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit launched the European Digital Credentials for learning in an all-digital event on 25 October 2021 streamed via Youtube, Zoom, Facebook and Twitter.
The meetings will aim to reduce the current fragmentation of the digital credential market and enable EU citizens to have their digital credentials read, displayed and stored in various public and private platforms.
Europass Digital Credentials confirm and provide evidence of learning outcomes and qualifications gained, such as diplomas. The standardisation of these credentials supports better understanding and verification of qualifications or other learning achievements. They can be used for formal education, non-formal and informal learning.
