Digital Badges are associated with micro-credentials, short courses, formal and non-formal learning; and are increasingly being used worldwide to fully articulate and recognise skills and achievements, complementing official academic awards. In current times, this has become more prevalent than ever, with the increased demands on shorter courses and flexible requirements to recognise learner competencies, that ultimately assist to service enterprise and learners with validated digital credentials.
