Badges are new in Moodle 2.5+ . Badges are a great way to motivate users. They are an electronic way to demonstrate that you have mastered a specific skill. Moodle badges may be awarded based on a variety of criteria chosen by the teacher. You can upload your own images as badges or get them from a site such as Badges for Your Moodle.

Digital badges have been around for several years, but still have a way to go until they are fully integrated and recognized appropriately in education and in the world of work. The fact that Moodle, a widely-used and free system for online instruction, has integrated them in their system is definitely a step in the RIGHT direction. Go Moodle!

Students have a particular liking for badges which they can flaunt to others. A badge is like a special privilege that all can see. I earned my badge after completing a MOOC session, although whether I will wear this badge is doubtful, but then for students at least it is about making the reward more attractive than just a certificate which will be put away in a folder or portfolio once it has been earned!

If you are interested in creating and using Digital Badges for your students this would be a good place to start (specifically focused on UK but can be adapted) The whole site is useful, has links to others. I was looking for information about Employers and what they thought about Digital Badges. It's a no brainer to me as I am using online tools all the time, UK HEIs should be jumping all over this.

I am proud to announce Worlds of Learning @ New Milford High School, a digital badge professional learning platform. The idea behind this platform is to provide professional learning with a pinch of gamification. For some time now, we have been hearing about digital badges and how they can be used to guide, motivate, document and validate formal and informal learning.
