CanvaBadges

Have you heard of Digital Badges? It's a graphical representation of a milestone or accomplishment that you can award to students in your class. Students can then show their badges on their Canvas page or they can add them to other social media sites. There are many third-party resources for this and Learning Technologies is currently researching a good platform for the college. Until then, our LMS, CanvaBadges, offers an easy interface to quickly upload a badge to your course.

Badging with CanvaBadges

The Learning Technologies Department has been researching ways to create a badging system that will be unique for Emporia State. While we continue to research and develop, we would like to share with you information on CanvaBadges, an external tool that allows for easy badging in your course.

Badging is a way to give an award, a visual display of recognition, to students who reach particular milestones. You could have a badge for creating an assignment or a badge for completion of a module. Badges are images that can be created by you, customized with your look and feel. You may have researched badges and found that often, gamification is tied to badges. If this is an idea you wan to explore, please email acatters@emporia.edu and we will be happy to explore these opportunities with you.

For now, enjoy a step-by-step tutorial on using CanvaBadges.
