Task 3: Thinking about Certificates and Badges |
Just like last year, the EVO will make available an EVO2018 Certificate of Participation to sessions that would like to offer certificates to eligible participants. Read up on why we have never offered certificates before and why you might not want to offer them this year on our Certificates of Participation page. With your moderating team, consider whether you want to offer certificates, and if so, how you will determine eligibility. Remember that some EVO sessions have hundreds of participants, and you should to be able to state your eligibility requirements clearly and assess eligibility easily.
Digital badges are becoming popular ways to verify specific skills learned or tasks accomplished. If your team is interested in offering badges in addition to or instead of certificates, read about badges on our Digital Badges page, and attend one of the live sessions on badges (exact dates, times, and venues to be posted here and in our moderators' G+C).
