Badges are an important kind of symbol, a shortcut that we use to quickly understand more about the people we meet. Consider police officers, service members, and retail workers; their physical badges represents many hours of informal training, formal education, and official certification. Digital badges provide a similar shortcut to understanding the competencies and achievements of the people we’re teaching, recruiting, and collaborating with online.
