Organizations around the world use Canvas Credentials (formerly Badgr Pro) to create branded learning ecosystems that support their communities with skills-based digital credentials, stackable learning pathways, and portable learner records.

As with all students, doctoral students need specific career skills in addition to their academic mastery. Professional Development & Postdoctoral Affairs (PDPA) recognized the value of digital badges as a medium to track progress along pathways to those career competencies. Badges provide rich, skills-aligned data sets that are portable, shareable, stackable, and trackable. Pathways lets PDPA stack critical elements together into a comprehensive program of career preparation and track students’ progress. Doctoral students can monitor their own progress along those visual, badge-driven Pathways to ensure they’ve acquired the critical competencies that will support their career success.
