What is a badge?

Last updated: 80% of users voted this helpful

A badge is a symbol or indicator of an accomplishment, skill, quality or interest. A “digital badge” is an online record of achievements, tracking the recipient’s communities of interaction that issued the badge and the work completed to get it. Digital badges can support connected learning environments by motivating learning and signaling achievement both within particular communities as well as across communities and institutions.
