Playlist
The place where pathways, programs, and transfer agreements get published - so learners can actually find them.
What is Playlist?
Think of Playlist like a catalog for education and career pathways. Schools, colleges, and employers publish their programs here so that learners and job seekers can browse, compare, and pick a destination.
Instead of hunting across dozens of websites, everything lives in one searchable place. Each pathway gets its own QR code and shareable link, so advisors and recruiters can point people to exactly the right page.
In short, Playlist answers the question: "What's out there for me?"
The Playlist interface — browse pathways, compare options, and track progress in one place.
🤖 AI & LLM Trained
Playlist is powered by AI and large language models trained on competency frameworks, transfer policies, and credential standards - so every pathway it surfaces is contextually accurate and up to date.
📱 Unique QR Codes for Tracking
Every pathway and agreement gets a unique QR code tied to a single canonical repository. Scan to access, share to promote, and track engagement across every channel.
🔀 Multiple Pathway & Agreement Types
Transfer agreements, articulation maps, dual admissions, career pathways, credential stacks - Playlist handles every type in one unified registry.
🏷️ Encoded with CTDL Structures
All content is encoded with Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL), making every pathway machine-readable, interoperable, and ready for the Credential Registry.
🔗 Linked Data to O*NET
Competencies and career outcomes are linked to O*NET occupation data, connecting education pathways directly to labor market demand and SOC codes.
🗄️ Single Source Repository
One authoritative repository for all published pathways. No duplicates, no version drift - every widget, QR code, and partner embed points to the same governed source.
📊 Measurable Engagement
Track views, clicks, shares, and conversions across every channel. Know which pathways resonate and which need attention - with analytics built in from day one.
🤝 Hand-off to Performer
Once a learner picks a destination, Playlist hands off seamlessly to Performer for gap analysis, route comparison, and progress tracking.
