What are NDC badges?
Open badges are verifiable credentials earned by participation in and completion of NDC sponsored activities. Badges are a visual representation of participant learning journeys, accomplishments, and mastery; and serve as documentation for engagement in online learning, webinars, events, and targeted activities. Badges are transferable from NDC to personal and professional online profiles.
Learners will earn one badge per activity completed. Badges reflect participation, knowledge, skills and abilities gained from specific activities. Motivational badges may also be earned to show progression, achieving milestones, accumulating experience, and rewards for completing learning pathways. Learners may collect badges in a non-linear manner or select an established pathway.
