If you successfully completed your MOOC with a grade of 70% or higher, then you earned a digital badge
to commemorate your achievement. Congratulations!
Badges are not just pictures! They are like online certificates that can be verified by employers or
academic institutions. Each badge is encoded with data that confirms the knowledge, skills, and
achievements you earned as a result of your course.
Your badge is unique to you, and it cannot be shared or used by anyone else.

badge.”
2. To download your badge, click the “download” button in the body of the e-mail. An image of
your badge will appear. Please save this image.
