Badges & Achievements

What are Open Badges?

LEAST issues Open Badges — digital credentials that are cryptographically signed and publicly verifiable. Each badge you earn contains your name, the issuing organisation, the criteria you met, and a tamper-proof digital signature. You can share badges on LinkedIn, add them to your CV, or import them into a badge wallet.

Viewing Your Badges

  1. Navigate to My Badges (or Profile → Badges)
  2. All earned badges are displayed with: badge name, issuer, date earned, and criteria
  3. Click any badge to see its full details and sharing options

Sharing a Badge

Each badge has a unique public URL — the Assertion URL. Anyone who visits this URL can verify the badge is genuine.

To share:

  • LinkedIn: click Add to LinkedIn Profile — LEAST pre-fills the credential fields
  • Copy link: click Copy Badge URL to share via email or messaging
  • Download: save the badge image (contains embedded metadata) for inclusion in documents

Importing into a Badge Wallet

LEAST badges are Open Badges v2.0 compliant and can be imported into any compatible wallet:

  • Badgr — paste the assertion URL to import
  • Open Badge Passport — import via assertion URL
  • LinkedIn — use the Add Credential flow

Earning Badges

Badges are awarded by your educator or administrator when you meet the defined criteria. Common criteria:

  • Completing a course or module
  • Passing a quiz above a threshold score
  • Completing a specific number of lessons
  • Demonstrating a competency in a review

Some badges are issued automatically (e.g. on quiz pass); others are issued manually by your educator after review.

Revoked Badges

In rare cases, a badge may be revoked (e.g. if it was issued in error). Revoked badges appear in your My Badges page with a Revoked label. The public assertion URL returns a revoked status when verified. Contact your educator if you believe a badge was revoked incorrectly.
