Microcredentials (digital badges) have been increasing in use since the early beginnings in 2012. As the technology rapidly evolves and develops, the range of learning environments and learners that are using digital badges varies as well. From K-12 to industry, these microlearning opportunities are preparing learners with visual representations of their skills, competencies, and knowledge. This discussion is for anyone interested in microcredentials and their use in learning environments.
