Notice Title

Digital Badge Platform

Interest across the university has come from multiple channels where both academics and technical staff are looking at ways to give student accreditation for specific skills development such as use of machinery. Library services are also interested in how badging could improve student engagement with their services and evidence to employers the transferable skills achieved on a learner journey.
