Welcome to the first video in the University of Minnesota's Parchment Digital Badges training series. Designed specifically for Issuer Administrators, this video introduces the foundational "what" and "why" of our campus micro-credentialing initiative. You will learn how secure, metadata-backed Open Digital Badges differ from unverified "digital stickers," and how these dynamic credentials allow students to track their skills, enhance their resumes, and tell a more complete story of their education. Discover how your program can utilize the platform to drive learner engagement, motivate goal setting, and provide students with a verifiable way to showcase market-ready skills directly to future employers.
