Digital Badges
Today, learning happens in many different environments – formal and informal, online and offline. Every learner has a unique learning path, full of experiences that make them uniquely qualified.
But how do you show a clear picture of your skills and experiences and make your abilities stand out from others?
The answer is open digital badges – and they are changing how we introduce ourselves to the world.
Open digital badges, or “micro-credentials”, are a way to display your unique skills, knowledge and experience.
Decoda offers open digital badges for learners and literacy practitioners. Badges are awarded through our Adult Literacy Database.
