MEiRA: Transforming Learning Evaluation Through Meaningful Digital Recognition

In this presentation, Stella Porto from the Inter-American Development Bank introduces MEiRA (Impact Evaluation and Recognition Framework for Applied Learning), an innovative approach that bridges the gap between learning assessment and real-world impact.

MEiRA integrates digital credentials as a core component of its evaluation methodology, using open badges at three critical milestones: knowledge acquisition, commitment to application, and demonstrated impact through transfer stories. This session will demonstrate how this structured approach creates a continuous learning journey that extends beyond course completion, empowering learners while providing organizations with meaningful insights into learning effectiveness.
