Tapestry
Steven Barnes, Aidin Niavarani, UBC, 2019/05/23

From a CNIE session, we looked at a learning content authring and display tool for non-linear learning content. At first glace it appears simple, but there's a lot of depth, as contents are created as nodes that are linked to other nodes. We also looked at a newer beta version of Tapestry. It's WordPress-based and the beautiful visualization is made possible using the D3 Javascript library for data-based displays. Code is available on GitHub. Definitely worth a look, especially if you think narrative and story-telling are the only ways to make learning content human and approachable.

Open Standards and Transparency Groups Team Up to Improve Information on Credentials
IMS Global, 2019/05/23

Not a lot of information about this, but I do want to note the existence of the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL) a "language that enables credential issuers to publish data and information on the content and value of credentials to the public Credential Registry and the open web."
