ICoBC Award for Most Innovative Use of Digital Badges in Assessment

The Most Innovative Use of Digital Badges in Assessment is presented in collaboration with the International Council on Badges and Credentials (ICoBC). This award celebrates innovative applications of digital badging in assessment, showcasing how these tools enhance learner engagement and recognition.

Our AI-supported tool enables educators to create and issue digital badges based on the ESCO skill framework—quickly, intuitively, and without technical hurdles. This makes it easy to embed skill-based recognition in both formal and informal learning contexts. Learners collect badges on a granular skill level, allowing them to reflect on their strengths and build a foundation for self-assessment and future learning. One of our core innovations lies in the tool’s UX and UI: it makes badges and their underlying skills visually clear, engaging, and easy to navigate. This transparency not only motivates learners but also supports educators in guiding growth in a meaningful, future-oriented way.

ACS International Schools with Essential Skills Badging

I work with 120 partner state schools and I manage 3 independent schools. Our new badging system will allow us to quantify skills and knowledge attained through out of classroom activities such as service learning, community projects, fundraising, clubs and societies etc. Not only does it quantify these skills, but the automatic system awards master skills badges depending on how well practiced they are at that skill. The system gives them the option to upload to social media including Linkedin, creating a record of achievement in the process. The system revolutionises the quantification of non cognitive skills that are so important for the future work place.
