We describe the early stages of an innovative initiative to help meet accreditation requirements through co-curricular, electronic credentialing. We describe the electronic credentials, or “digital badges,” by giving specific examples from the project and by explaining preparation and delivery. We also share course instructor comments, student feedback, and our own suggestions for best practices going forward.
