This document discusses ways to improve a badge system for recognizing student learning. It recommends that the badge system: - Assess competencies rather than just activities or seat time - Award badges based on credits from courses as well as prior learning, community service, and student portfolios - Recognize demonstrated competencies through direct assessment instead of just formal coursework
