EDUCAUSE has implemented a badging initiative in a concerted effort to build and support the higher education IT profession. Members have an opportunity to earn, accept, and display EDUCAUSE digital badges as evidence of continuing education and career competency enhancement.
The Microcredentials and Badges constituent group provides a discussion space for all aspects of research, design, and implementation of microcredentialing and/or digital badging systems. Contributions on all aspects of the process of creating badges and badge systems are welcome, as well as questions and reflections on the emerging ecosystem of Open Badging and what it means for traditional educational and professional development paradigms.
