This session will discuss the implementation of digital badges in a chemistry laboratory course. Brittland will address the simple questions such as: What are digital badges? and more complex questions such as: What are some obstacles (and work-arounds) to implementing them in a course? What type of learning outcomes can I measure with digital badges, and what kind of impact will badges have on my students?  

This session will be of interest to anyone who is interested in implementing digital badges in their course (especially now since D2L supports digital badges).  It will also be informative for anyone who is concerned about the potential impact of using these badges in a class.
