Digital Badges

You can now earn badges for some Mississippi State University Libraries workshops!

What are Digital Badges?

Digital badges (or microcredentials) show off skills you've learned by attending our workshops. You can display badges on your website, social media, résumé, or CV. Open Badges issued through Badgr are unique to you. Each contain information about the criteria required to earn them.

How will badges help me with my academic and professional career?

New graduates may have similar skills and experiences. Digital badges show potential employers that you have particular skills in software, research, or other areas. Badges also signal that you value continued learning and professional development opportunities. They can help you connect with others who share your interests and lead to collaboration and mentoring opportunities.

 

Earn Your Badge!

We currently offer two types of badges in Microsoft Excel, Adobe Creative Cloud Express, Survival Skills for Graduate Students workshops, and Library research in agriculture and forest resources. Attend several workshops in a series to earn Attendance badges. Complete an assignment after a workshop to earn an Achievement badge.
