Our Digital Pedagogy Badge recognizes graduate students with deep competencies in theories and practices of digital teaching. After completing a number of activities, graduate students will be awarded a Digital Pedagogy Badge. The award is coordinated by the Digital Innovation Lab as part of its efforts to support digital humanities research and teaching. Badges will be posted on the Credly micro-credentialing Web site and can be integrated into sites like LinkedIn or online professional Web spaces. Badge recipients will also be listed on the Carolina Digital Humanities/Digital Innovation Lab Website.
To be awarded the Digital Pedagogy Badge, graduate students must accomplish four or more of the tasks below. Recipients must complete either item 1 or 2 and either option 3 or 4.
