Intended Audience: Professional Learners/Educators
About
After completing a micro-credential learning experience, a digital badge is automatically granted to the learner via the Canvas Badges/Badgr credential platform. To guarantee that the badges earned from the Professional Learning Portal (PLP) are added to their Canvas Badges/Badgr account, learners will need to follow the below steps.
Instruction
Step 1. Determine Email Associated with Badge
To determine which email was associated with the awarded badge, learners may either:
- Refer to the Michigan Virtual Email containing information about the badge earned. The recipient is the email address associated with the badge.
- Learners may also login to their PLP account and tap Edit Account to view the email address associated with their account.
Step 2. Check Verified Email Addresses
To claim badges, the learner's email address must be one of the verified email addresses on their Canvas Badges/Badgr account. Learners will need to perform the following steps to review or add an email address to their Canvas Badges/Badgr account.
- First, login to Canvas Badges/Badgr.
- Next, tap the icon displaying the learner's name (top-right) and select Account Settings.
- As a result, emails and linked accounts will be displayed. If the email address obtained from Step 1 above is not displayed within the "Emails" section, tap the Add link to include it. A confirmation code will be sent to the new email address. Access the code and enter it, then click Continue to confirm the email address. Once confirmed, the badge will automatically appear in the Canvas Badges/Badgr Backpack.
- Finally, it is recommended to keep all email addresses listed within the Canvas Badges/Badgr account, but make sure to select an active email address as the primary. Removing an email may result in Badges disappearing from the backpack.
