Title: 1.7 About the Badges
Course: RITA LEARNING MODULES > Section: 1. RITA Learning Modules Overview

Badges are an alternative form of showing credit that are becoming popular in informal and formal education institutions. Demonstration of specified learning is represented visually by a “badge”, a digital image displayed on a website. Badges make evident to others how engaged you are with the learning content.

There are several topics addressed in the RITA Learning Modules. You can earn one badge per module, and one badge for completing all of the modules. Each module has completion criteria under each element. Canvas automatically tracks whether you meet the completion criteria. You can see your progress through a module with little green check marks next to pages you've read or assignments you've completed. You can see the check marks on the Module List. The badge tool being used is Canvabadge and you can find out more on their website. You can also see some other badges learners have earned and shared.
