Badges are a fun way to celebrate achievement throughout the process of learning. In contrast to a certificate of completion at the end of a course, badges can be collected for specific tasks within the course or on the LMS site.

This gamification element is designed to:

• visually represent progress
• engage learners with competitive edge (personal goals or friendly competition)
• inspire learners to continue working in the digital learning environment
• motivate learners to work toward manageable goals
