Digital Learning Badges

The AWT4CL project focuses on improving workforce readiness. The Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU) critical employability skills provide a useful starting point for exploring soft skills development.    

Digital learning badge introduction outline

• Track student progress

• Focus attention on soft skills

The AWT4CL project has developed digital learning badges that can be awarded through Canvas Credentials. When awarded, the badges (below) indicate that a student has reached a level of proficiency with a related task.

NOTE: Opportunities for open access, outside Canvas, to the learning badges are on the way, and will be shared on this page soon.

The badge matrix (AWT4CL Employability Skill Badges) is a helpful resource for understanding the skill and badge descriptions and the earning criteria for each employability skill badge.
