Abstract

This paper reports a graduate-level course design case in which a digital badging system was integrated into class activities. The design process involved both conceptual and technological tasks with a careful consideration of badge types and corresponding challenges, platform functionality, and tracking learners’ badge related activities. The badging system was implemented in an online course. The results indicated that students were more motivated to earn challenge and easter egg (hidden) badges compared to level and mega challenge badges. Issues such as the role of badge system design on student motivation and overall course design were discussed.
