University of Massachusetts Global Online Certification Tokens
In 2022 UMass Global launched an initiative to incentivize continuous professional development for students and instructors through a series of achievement badges. Research has shown that in the 21st century instructors, students and civilians respond to gamified tasks, whether it’s earning points at their local supermarket, or being awarded a ranking on social media. The program offers micro-credentials to students for which they would be awarded badges, an element already used for professional development on platforms like Linkedin. Badges can then be displayed across platforms like LinkedIn, resume builders, Credly, and others.
