How 1EdTech Members Power Learner Potential
Bowdoin College wants to give graduates every advantage when they enter the workforce. That’s why the university is piloting a new digital badge program, using knowledge gained from experience and 1EdTech collaborations, to help students capture, understand, and share all the knowledge and skills they gain while in college. The college's first badging program, the Digital Corps, helps student workers in the IT department showcase the specific technical skills acquired during their on-campus employment. Efforts are also underway to develop badging programs within other departments in the college.
“Students can’t always articulate what skills come with their degree, including those gained in co-curricular activities. Badges are more transparent, are easily accessed and are often complementary to the student’s degree. Formalizing the skills our students gain while at Bowdoin will help them be more career ready, and badges capture their abilities in a way that is easier to present to future employers or other institutions of higher education.”
