Digital badges and micro-certificates, including Open Badges, provide a dynamic and engaging way to recognize and validate achievements.
Commonly used to certify soft skills, seminar participation, quiz completion, and program engagement, these awards offer a visual representation of accomplishment.
The image associated with a digital badge—often referred to as the « badge image »—has gained popularity for its versatility in design, shapes, and colors, making it easily shareable across social and professional networks like LinkedIn.
Micro-certificates and Open Badges are secured by metadata and can be verified instantly, ensuring trust and credibility for both issuers and recipients.While digital badges and micro-certificates are often used interchangeably, they serve slightly different purposes.
A digital badge is a visual representation of an achievement, typically linked to detailed information like the issuer, the criteria met, and the date of issuance.
Micro-certificates, on the other hand, go beyond visual recognition, encompassing a broader certification process that validates learning outcomes. Micro-certificates may be part of a formal education program, often representing a more structured learning path or assessment.
Both can be used together to showcase a learner’s journey and achievements, with digital badges providing a quick, visual way to communicate achievements to employers and peers.For recipients, digital badges offer:
- Proof of skills and achievements: they provide verified evidence of specific skills that can be shared with employers or on professional networks like LinkedIn.
