Informal Credentials or Digital Badges
The Digital Scholarship Commons (DSC) awards digital badges, or informal credentialing, for the successful completion of this workshop. We award badges as an informal credential in order to help workshop participants, who wish to, make public the fact that they have developed data manipulation and visualization skills using RStudio.
DSC electronic badges are cryptographically signed and have the recipient’s email address embedded in the signing so that they cannot be used by anyone else. Also embedded in the badge is a link to the learning objectives for the workshop, so that employers or anyone who sees the badge can determine what was done to earn the badge.
DSC badges are awarded at the request of workshop participants after a DSC staff member has verified that they have successfully completed one or more of the workshop’s hands-on activities. You can see a list of all the badges offered by the DSC on our UVic Libraries page.
