Digital badges serve as visual symbols of achievement. These trackable icons include metadata verifying a person’s learning accomplishments. We have chosen to use Canvas Credentials for its convenient integration with Canvas.

About OETA Badges

Faculty will earn a final Online Excellence Teaching Academy (OETA) Certificate badge after completing all seven course badges. The OETA includes seven primary course badges awarded upon completion of each course. In addition, each OETA phase will grant its own badge, and there are supplementary badges available for course substitutes and equivalencies.
