You're probably curious about what digital badges are.
A digital badge is a verifiable, portable credential that represent a learner’s skills, achievements and knowledge. Educational institutions, professional organizations and companies can issue digital badges after program/course requirements are met.
Digital badges can be shared online, on platforms like LinkedIn, to showcase your accomplishments to employers, colleagues, and friends, which can lead to jobs, promotions/advancement, scholarships and internships. Cutting edge digital badge technology uses metadata to link a specific badge to a specific earner, and provides detailed information about what a learner did to earn it, who issued it and when it was awarded.
