Digital Badges

Digital badges are the visual tokens and an online record of the learner's achievements.  A badge provides details on how it was achieved, and can be linked to evidence such as portfolios or work samples.  Digital badges provide the opportunity for individuals to tell and share the verifiable stories about their accomplishments as part of their lifelong and lifewide learning journey.
