What is ORCA?
ORCA is a web-based platform for open recognition in communities. Each community selects achievements to award and governs how they are awarded in the community.
Self-claiming and peer-endorsement workflows are prioritized. In ORCA, recognition happens in a community, not something that is passively received by learners in an institutional learning environment.
Open recognition puts communities in control. Your community sets its own standards and recognizes achievements that matter. When recognition flows freely, everyone benefits—knowledge grows and people gain the power to showcase what they know.
