Credly Acclaim Digital Credentialing Platform

What are the benefits of a digital badge on the Credly Acclaim platform for BADGE EARNERS?

Kent State University is committed to helping learners achieve success by offering digital badges which represent participation, achievements, training, certifications, and credentials that are validated through our organization. The Credly Acclaim platform provides Kent State University badge issuers an efficient way to issue, manage, verify, and report digital badges.

  • Digital badges can be easily posted to multiple social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
  • Links to earned badges can be shared with employers or included in a portfolio, website, resume, and email signature.
  • Badge earners gain real-time insight to employment opportunities based on skills and competencies associated with badges.
