How to obtain and use digital badges from UVic Libraries Digital Scholarship Commons

Adding badges to your LinkedIn Certifications

  1. Sign in to LinkedIn and go to your profile page.

  2. Select the Add profile section button and select Licenses and Certifications.

  1. A new dialog box will open prompting you to enter information about your badge award.
  • From your Badgr Backpack, copy the share URL of the badge you wish to add.

  • Paste the badge share URL into the Certification URL field of the LinkedIn certification dialog box.

  • Name: Enter the title of the badge.

  • Issuing Organization: Enter the name of the badge issuer and/or organization. LinkedIn may suggest an organization with which you may align your badge award. Please note: LinkedIn displays the Organization’s logo for this entry. It is not possible to display the badge image here due to LinkedIn’s posting restrictions.

  • Expiration: Check the box if the badge award does not expire.

  • Issue Date and Expiration Date: Enter the date(s) as they appear on the badge.

  • Credential ID: Leave blank or paste the unique ID string from the badge share URL. It is typically the last string after “/” and looks like this: bcd41b91-a83f-4dae-a51f-cd979a6cc8b8
