The Digital Badging Commission, established in 2024 by the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) and Ufi VocTech Trust, aims to revolutionise the recognition of skills and learning in the UK.
Considering digital badges are a promising tool for recognising and verifying skills, particularly those acquired outside traditional educational pathways, understanding the breadth of their adoption across a wide variety of settings, as well as their impact and potential, remains limited in the UK context.
The Digital Badging Commission brings together senior leaders and experts from education, industry, technology and policy to address this gap and develop recommendations for a more effective digital badging ecosystem that supports progress and recognition of skills within lifelong learning.
The session will present the key findings and progress of the commission so far, primarily focusing on challenges and opportunities identified through the available literature, through case study interviews with stakeholders, and from interactive stakeholder workshop sessions run by the commission.
