Badging in the workplace and through volunteering has shaped my life. There is more to learning than what occurs in the classroom. Digital badging helps to capture learning that is not formally recognized through the formal transcript process.
I see badges as a great way to promote lifelong learning as well as a way to recognize skills and knowledge not displayed on a transcript.
This week we are going to take a look at digital badges for an academic classroom. For part of that discussion, I am going to tell you about my experiences with badging.
