👉 Badge engineering is the strategic design and implementation of digital badges—visual tokens that represent skills, achievements, or milestones—to enhance learning experiences and career development. It involves creating badges that are meaningful, verifiable, and interoperable across platforms, ensuring they accurately reflect an individual's competencies. This process includes defining clear criteria for badge issuance, ensuring badges are easily shareable and recognized by various educational and professional systems, and integrating them into learning management systems (LMS) or career platforms. Effective badge engineering aims to motivate learners by providing tangible recognition for their progress, while also offering employers and educators a reliable means to assess and validate skills and credentials.
