2025 Badge Summit

Developing the necessary infrastructure to support microcredentials and digital badges requires thoughtful planning, coordination, and a realistic timeline. This session will provide a roadmap for institutions navigating this process based on the experience of the University of Colorado Denver. Key considerations such as integrating microcredentials into the Student Information System (SIS), defining the Registrar’s role in badge validation, program proposal and approval processes, and establishing learner records will be discussed. Attendees will be presented with the timeline of CU Denver’s activities, including what occurred sequentially and what occurred in tandem.  This session will offer practical strategies and lessons learned to help institutions build their own microcredential infrastructure.
