What are digital badges?
Digital badges offer a visual representation of particular skills, knowledge or experiences that you’ve had or
developed through engaging with Your Students' Union. They will be awarded for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Attending an event, training session or workshop
- Holding a particular student role or position
- Developing or enhancing your skills
Digital badges are awarded online and can be utilised and displayed in a variety of ways, to show training you’ve completed or experiences you’ve had. The platform that we use to administer badges at the SU is called Canvas Credentials.
