Digital badging is a way to show that someone has learned a skill or completed a task using an online badge. Each badge is like a sticker, but digital—it includes information about what the person did to earn it, who gave it to them, and when. To earn a badge, a person usually finishes a project, learns something new, or shows they can do something well. Then, a teacher or program gives them the badge through a website or platform. These badges can be shared online, like on a resume or social media. Digital badging helps people stay motivated, shows others what they’ve learned, and makes it easy to keep track of their progress.
