Personalized Learning Paths with POK – Connect micro-credentials and boost professional development
In a world where skills are updated faster than degrees, institutions and companies need to show not only what is learned, but how that learning is built.
With POK – Proof of Knowledge, Learning Paths turn training into a structured, motivating, and certified experience, connecting micro-credentials and certificates in a path that drives employability, engagement, and institutional prestige.
What is a Learning Path in POK?
A Learning Path is a personalized training journey, made up of different modules, courses, or experiences, where each milestone is validated with a verifiable NFT digital micro-credential.
When the student or employee completes all steps, they receive a final credential that certifies the full set of acquired skills.
Example:
Total integration
Compliance with OpenBadge 3.0

When the student or employee completes all steps, they receive a final credential that certifies the full set of acquired skills.
Example:
- Module 1: Fundamentals of Data Science Course → Micro-credential “Data Science Fundamentals”
- Module 2: Python for Data Analysis Workshop → Micro-credential “Python Data Analysis”
- Module 3: Practical Project → Micro-credential “Applied Data Science Project”
- Final Credential: “Data Science Professional” – automatically issued upon completion of all milestones.
