Section 17 - Digital Badging

(To see who has authority to approve changes to this section, please see the Approval of Changes page).

General Information

Digital Badges are online representation of skills learned by students, typically with visual iconography. They require standardized criteria for attainment and are often linked to artifacts for evidence of attainment. Digital badges can be used as a learning tool for differentiation and independent learning in a course, or as a credential or certification of attainment of program or course outcomes.

Policy for use at UWSP

Digital Badges will not be owned or operated by UW-Stevens Point as an institutional endorsement or credential. Faculty and staff may utilize digital badging within individual courses or curricula at their department or program’s discretion. Digital Badges offered in individual courses or departmental curricula do not represent UW-Stevens Point sanctioned credentials and the university logo cannot be used.
