Introduction to Digital Credentials for Experiential Learning at SCSU
At Southern Connecticut State University, we recognize the growing importance of digital credentials and certificates in validating experiential learning experiences. Digital credentials provide a modern, verified way for students to showcase the skills and knowledge they’ve gained through internships, research projects, volunteering, and other hands-on learning opportunities. These credentials, often in the form of digital badges, help students stand out in a competitive job market by demonstrating their competencies in a visible and shareable format.
This webpage offers resources and guidance for students, faculty, and staff interested in incorporating digital credentials into experiential learning. Whether you're a student looking to enhance your portfolio or a faculty member considering adding digital badges to your course, you’ll find useful information here.
