Empower learners on their individual journeys with Parchment Digital Badges
Canvas Credentials (formerly known as Badgr) is a comprehensive digital badging and micro-credentialing platform designed to recognize and verify learner achievements. This data sheet highlights how the platform empowers institutions to issue high-quality, stackable, and portable digital badges that adhere to the Open Badges 3.0 standard. By moving beyond traditional transcripts, Canvas Credentials allows students to showcase specific 21st-century skills and competencies to employers through a data-rich, verifiable "digital backpack" that they can carry with them for life.
The platform's strength lies in its seamless integration with the Canvas LMS, allowing for the automatic awarding of badges based on predefined triggers—such as completing a module, submitting an assignment, or reaching a specific score. Key features include Parchment Pathways, which enable institutions to create structured learning journeys where badges "stack" into larger credentials or certificates, and advanced analytics to track student progress and engagement. Ultimately, Canvas Credentials helps institutions increase enrollment and retention by providing students with visible, shareable evidence of their professional readiness and lifelong learning accomplishments.
