Description

This is a report of our recent ALT East England (ALT EE) event on 4 July 2024. The blog starts with a brief summary of digital badges, and reports on the three presentations: Peter Harrison (Cranfield University), Bernadette Martin (The Open University) and Cory Saarinen (Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), University of Cambridge).

Attendees in the session were asked how many were considering or have used badges, and most had either tried badges or were considering investigating them. The polling results showed that there is an increasing recognition of the importance of reward and recognition within institutions. Therefore, this event was a timely way to share case studies and examples of how universities in the region are using digital badges and certifications.
