Black Woman Makes History Launching Global Accrediting Body for Digital Education

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Oct. 11, 2025 - PRLog -- ALBUQUERQUE, NM – The International Accrediting Commission for Digital Education (IACDE) proudly announces its official launch, marking a groundbreaking moment in the history of education. Its founder, Dr. Roxanne Kemp, Ph.D., a Black woman visionary, has become the first in recorded history to establish an international accrediting body dedicated exclusively to digital education.

A New Era for Quality and Inclusion
IACDE emerges to meet the urgent global demand for credible, equitable, and forward-thinking accreditation models that reflect the realities of 21st-century learning. The organization offers a comprehensive, 100% virtual accreditation framework for online universities, hybrid institutions, coaching academies, and digital training providers around the world.

Redefining What Accreditation Looks Like
With technology transforming how knowledge is delivered and received, IACDE introduces a bold model centered on accessibility, transparency, and innovation. Institutions are evaluated across five global standards:

• Institutional Integrity and Governance
• Academic Quality and Rigor
• Digital Learning Excellence
• Student Success and Retention
• Innovation and Global Impact

"I founded IACDE to open doors that traditional systems have long kept closed," said Dr. Kemp. "For too long, digital institutions—especially those led by women, minorities, and innovators—have struggled for fair recognition. This is our moment to accredit the future of education—digitally."

A Vision Rooted in Global Collaboration
Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, IACDE works with educational institutions across six continents to advance global standards for online learning. Through its membership network, training programs, and policy initiatives, the Commission is helping organizations align with best practices in pedagogy, technology, and governance—while embracing cultural diversity and digital transformation.
