The Impact of Digital Badges on Student Learning and Engagement

Digital badges are a type of alternative credential that has gained popularity in recent years as a way to recognize and reward learning in both formal and informal settings. Digital badges are typically awarded for completing a task or demonstrating a skill, and they can be displayed on websites or in e-portfolios as a way to show achievement. While badges have been used for centuries as a way to signify accomplishment, the digital badge is a relatively new phenomenon.
