Adding My Achievement Materials

The Add Achievement Materials feature lets you attach a learner’s deliverables, completion outputs, assignment files, portfolio links, and more to an issued digital badge, boosting the badge’s credibility and usefulness.

Through this, learners can prove their concrete competencies and output beyond simple completion verification, and it becomes a more powerful personal branding tool when shared on social media.
