Digital Scholarship Commons offers badges as recognition for the completion of various workshops. Digital Badges are also known as informal credentials. The goal of badging is to provide users the opportunity to share their skills with the public. Digital Badges can act as a portfolio whereby the platform documents learning. Have you ever wondered what Open Badges are? If so visit the pre-workshop videos of our BADGR Badge Sharing workshop. Badgr can help create a portfolio for your learning today.
