LMS-Issued Badges or Digital Credential Platforms: Making the Right Choice for Your Program
How institutions will recognize and validate student achievements is a crucial decision for higher education leaders. With 88% of education professionals viewing alternative credentials and microcredentialing as essential for the future, selecting the right approach for issuing digital badges and certificates is more important than ever.
Should institutions rely on the built-in features of a Learning Management System, or is a dedicated digital credentialing platform the better option? Each solution offers distinct advantages for different types of programs – and different types of learners.
This webinar will provide an in-depth comparison of LMS-issued badges and standalone digital credentialing platforms. It will feature real case studies from institutions that have transitioned between solutions.
Key Topics include:
- The best use cases for each approach
- Differences in verification, branding, portability, and scalability
- How and when institutions like Syracuse University transitioned between badging solutions—and the outcomes they observed
The session will conclude with a live Q&A.
