数字徽章为在线教育活动和体验提供了新的支持。当与积分和排行榜一起使用时，徽章可以成为一种游戏化元素，让学习者能够与自己或他人竞争，并知道自己离完成目标和获得相应的声誉还有多远。在这个角色中，徽章激励持续参与，这增加了完成任务的时间，并支持通过表现获得技能。徽章表示的学习成果也可以显示在电子作品集或网站上，并且可以高度转移到社交媒体网站上。在这个角色中，他们总结成就并表明成就。有了这些特点，数字徽章有可能成为另一种认证系统，提供数字符号的可见识别，通过元数据直接链接到公共展示的教育成就验证证据。本文将追溯数字徽章的简史，定义它们是什么，给出它们的使用示例，并讨论它们的教育启示。
Digital badges provide new affordances for online educational activities and experiences. When used with points and leaderboards, a badge can become a gamification element allowing learners to compete with themselves or others, and to know how close they are to accomplishing a goal and acquiring its accompanying reputation. In this role, badges motivate continued engagement, which increases time on task and supports skill acquisition through performance. Learning outcomes signified by badges can also be displayed in an e-portfolio or on web sites and are highly transportable to social media sites. In this role they summarize achievement and signal accomplishment. With these characteristics, digital badges have the potential to become an alternative credentialing system, providing visible recognition in digital symbols that link directly via metadata to validating evidence of educational achievements in public displays. This paper will trace the brief history of digital badges, define what they are, give examples of their use, and discuss their educational affordances.
