Badges and Certificates
There are two different types of awards that can be given to students:
Badges
Badges are digital markers that represent accomplishment of a task/activity throughout a course or program. They are connected to a student’s profile.
Certificates
Certificates are similar to badges, but also include a PDF that users can print. They are typically used as an official statement for a milestone completed, such as completion of training or finishing a program.
