Digital badges are receiving a growing amount of attention and are beginning to disrupt the norms of what it means to earn credit or be credentialed. Badges allow the sharing of evidence of skills and knowledge acquired through a wide range of life activity, at a granular level, and at a pace that keeps up with individuals who are always learning—even outside the classroom. As a result, there’s quite a lot for colleges and universities to consider in the wide open frontier called badging.

During this ELI Course, participants will:

• Explore core concepts that define digital badges, as well as their benefits and use in learning-related contexts
• Understand the underlying technical aspects of digital badges and how they relate to each other and the broader landscape for each learner and issuing organization
• Critically review and analyze examples of the adoption of digital credentials both inside and outside higher education
• Identify and isolate specific programs, courses, or other campus or online activities that would be meaningfully supported and acknowledged with digital badges or credentials—and more
