for Project 20201 & the Associate Vice Provost at the University of Texas, AusIn.
His current work focuses on distributed ledgers in the context of documenIng
competencies & higher ed credenIaling, learning analyIcs, emerging
technologies, learning engineering and the design of physical learning spaces.
In 2018 Phil started RHz Consulting and has been working on the design of credentialing methods using blockchain technologies, starting with a project on Revese Transfer of credits at Arizona State University. A core contribution to this is defining the data model for the Trusted Learner Record (TLR) that represents the permanent record of the learner's achievements from any source, educational institutions, work, or aspirational assertions, and stored in the blockchain Trusted Learner Network.

the cogniIve interacIons with them, & the spaces, physical and virtual wherein
they occur.
Research into active learning classrooms (ALCs)—spaces explicitly designed to support and promote this kind of learning and pedagogy—is expanding. This research provides educators with insights about how best to implement active learning pedagogies and support learners in ALCs.
Phillip Long discusses badges and certifications from past to future and how they fit into the higher education technology environment.
Is it possible to have the best of both a networked learning environment and an adaptive learning model implemented in the same system? The authors share their vision of the “next” next generation digital learning environment, the N2GDLE.
