2025 Badge Summit

As one of a handful of universities that have created or are creating CLRs for exclusively non-academic opportunities on campus the lessons learned at Mines could be useful for other institutions to think about and plan for. It’s one thing to create CLRs of skills gained in academic classes, but figuring out how to track, record and verify learning that is happening in extra-curriculars or even off-campus in internships and jobs is another.
 
In this session I will briefly share some of the hurdles I have overcome getting the CLR program started at Mines, as well as some of the decisions I am working through right now. Then I want to have the audience be able to ask questions and share their experiences so that we can all learn from each other’s journeys. I am hoping that everyone can come away with some tangible options for how to categorize activities and verify them, as well as ideas about what that looks like in a badging or certificate capacity.
