Welcome to the Digital Badges course
Badges have been around for many thousands of years.They serve as a way to recognize various behaviors, grant recognition, increase status and more. However, the traditional badge will be replaced by a digital badge.
While the rapid changes in the delivery of education are not fully realized yet. We do know that there are multiple ways to deliver content. We don't know how it will all look 10 or more years from.
We do, however, know that learners (young and old) will need a way to be recognized for their skills. While the traditional diploma has done this job for centuries, there is a newer, more powerful way before us now: Digital Badges!
