Asbury University introduces “digital badges” for online learning - Bryce Martin, Asbury Collegian

Asbury University’s Media Communications department is implementing a new way for students to build workforce skills with “digital badges.” Digital badges are short online-learning experiences that provide specialized education for specific career paths. They are intended to advance students’ career qualifications and to signal those qualifications to employers through social media. “Badges often give more information to potential employers than a transcript because they show the commitment that adult learners and badge earners give to lifelong learning including ongoing professional development,” Asbury’s introductory web page on digital badges reads.
