Digital Badge Program at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø

The Badge Creation Process starts with an idea for a digital badge and ends with a published badge in Credly.

The published digital badge is available to issue to Badge Earners who can share their accomplishment with their online networks.

Continuing Education manages the overall Badging Processes and works with the various departments to create and issue badges:

• Provides guidance on how to develop a Badge program
• Explains and coordinates the Badging Creation, Approval, Issue, and Acceptance processes
• Maintains a website about ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s Badging Program that includes a university-wide catalog of Badge Offerings
• Works with Credly, ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø’s Digital Badge Partner, to publish and issue digital Badges

• Credit Badges: All or part of the Criteria to earn a Credit Badge are Credit courses for ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø matriculated students. See Steps to create, approve, issue and accept Credit badges below.
