DELTA Offers Badges for Workshop Completion
Wouldn’t it be nice to have something to show for your commitment to professional development opportunities? DELTA has implemented a badge system through Credly that allows you to earn and display digital credentials as you progress through workshop series.
There are two levels of achievement available — Exploring and Applying. If you successfully complete the requisite workshops in a topic of interest, you will earn an Exploring Badge. If you would like to pursue the Applying Badge, you must demonstrate your ability to apply your expertise in the topic area in one of the following ways:
- Write an article for DELTA news
- Teach a workshop or seminar on your implementation
- Add a case study to the Teaching Resources website
- Make an instructional video for the NC State DELTA LearnTech YouTube channel
- Come up with your own idea and pitch it to us! Please reach out to the DELTA training program to pre-approve your project idea.
What Workshop Topics Have Badges Available?
Currently, there are six topics to choose from if you are interested in earning a badge. If you take a look at the requirements below, you may discover that you have already completed some of the workshops required for a badge — why not take the remainder of the series and have a badge to show for your accomplishments?
