The Benefits of Earning a Digital Badge through Villanova University
Last Updated April 18, 2022
What is a Digital Badge?
Digital badges are a virtual representation of an accomplishment, skill, or credential that can be displayed, accessed, and verified online. Offering a new way to display industry-recognized, employment focused credentials, digital badges are quickly becoming the standard for identifying and publicizing professional development. The badge itself is a clickable image that houses information about an institution issuing the badge, the date the badge was earned, competencies earned by the badge, and evidence that shows a learner has completed the requirements to earn the badge.
