How to Claim   More Info

For the seventh year, TCC participants are eligible to earn digital credentials (aka badges) by presenting their work and contributing to building the conference community.  Badges recognize individuals who are forward-thinking, produced quality research, or demonstrate community-related skills during conference activities. For general information about badges, see Educause’s 7 Things About Badges & Professional Development.

TCC Hawaii is fortunate to partner with Credly, a leader in workforce and academic micro-credentialing. Credly staffers are shared with LearningTimes, our partner for the TCC Online Conference since 2005. Credly has partnered with the American Council on Education (ACE) to recognize workforce training. Credly also supported the Educause Learning Initiative (ELI) to recognize professional achievement in academia.

Dr. Susan Manning, Credly’s Chief Success Strategist, explains the digital credential and how to put it to work.

 

TCC Digital Credentials (aka Badges)

TCC issues badges to TCC Online Conference participants based on achievement or by nominations from other attendees.  Did you really enjoy a certain presentation? Nominate the presenter for a badge to show your support and recognize outstanding work.  Other badges are earned by engaging with others in discussion threads, blog posts, and involving social media in your conference experience.

These digital credentials are designed around the goals and values of the TCC Online Conference to celebrate professional development, global community-building, and increasing our knowledge of the use of modern technology for teaching, learning, creative expression and building 21st Century learning skills.
