Digital Badges! Add to your badge collection via the AmplifyFE Community Space

By AmplifyFE

In our sector, we know that stickers and badges are not just enjoyed at school. There’s something special about earning something tangible that you can show off, even if it’s just to yourself, in your own diary or notebook. Digital badges can provide this feeling of value and kudos in the same way and so much more! 

Organisations and institutions use open digital badges for multiple purposes, not just recognition of achievements. They can be used to motivate and reward, showcase official memberships, and accredit continual professional development.

ALT offers a range of digital badges to recognise professional development and active engagement in peer review, peer assessment and governance, with a total of 10,000 badges issued to date (ALT Impact Report, Sept 2022). Badges have been awarded for hosting a webinar, attending a conference, being a CMALT assessor, and writing a blog post alongside many other recognitions. The AmplifyFE team has been busy creating the following digital badges. 

The AmplifyFE Community Space Member Badge from the Open Badge Factory is awarded for:

  • Attending a community space webinar 
  • Attending a community space meeting 
  • Signing up for the AmplifyFE mailing list 

The AmplifyFE Community Space Presenter badge is awarded for:

  • Hosting a webinar 
  • Taking part in a podcast 
  • Doing a Spotlight presentation at a community space meeting

What is the Open Badge Factory?

Open Badge Factory is the platform we use to share open badges with our community space members. Badges are fully verifiable and show who and when the badge was awarded, alongside details about the badge.
