Digital badges are web-enabled credentials that recognize achievements, content mastery, or new skills through non-academic micro-credentialing. These badges contain rich metadata that validates and verifies the learning outcomes they represent, offering a secure and portable way to showcase accomplishments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-boxout-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-boxout  \">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Executive Lead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Karen Lokey<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Technical Lead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Catherine White<br>cathywhite@uri.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Support Team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">ITS Innovation<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">About the Service:<\/h2>\n\n\n<section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-tabs-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-tabs  \">\n<section class=\"cl-tab \"><h1>Features<\/h1>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Metadata-Rich Badges<\/strong>: Includes issuer details, criteria, evidence, associated standards, and expiration dates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real-Time Verification<\/strong>: Ensures credentials cannot be tampered with and are instantly verifiable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Canvas Student Pathways<\/strong>: Design stackable, cross-disciplinary learning pathways incorporating prior assessments and external certifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital Backpack<\/strong>: Provides a free, secure space to share badges via LinkedIn, social media, email signatures, and resumes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employer Integration<\/strong>: Offers immediate access for employers to validate skills and accomplishments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"cl-tab \"><h1>Access<\/h1>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong>Issuer Accounts<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>URI departments can request accounts for non-academic credentialing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email the ITS Service Desk to set up an issuer account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Digital Badges<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Badges are issued after participants meet specific learning outcomes or demonstrate mastery of skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use Canvas Credentials for creating and issuing badges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explore Tools<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructure.com\/higher-education\/products\/canvas\/canvas-credentials\">Canvas Credentials<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/uri.badgr.com\/\">URI Badgr Homepage<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"cl-tab \"><h1>Support &amp;
