Introduction:
After the successful completion of a micro-credential learning experience a digital badge is automatically awarded to the learner via the credential platform Badgr. To ensure that badges you have earned through learning experiences on the Michigan Virtual Professional Learning Portal are automatically added to your Badgr account, please follow the steps below to check that the email address that your badge was awarded to is verified on your Badgr account.
When awarding a badge, an email address is given to identify the recipient. For you to be able to claim your badge, this email address must be one of the verified email addresses on your Badgr account.
