Note: The Educator Collaborative is not a credit granting institution.

  • How will I receive my badge?
    • We will contact you using the email address you supplied when registering.  You will receive a printable/savable email containing all of your badge information. Additionally, you will be invited to create a free account with a badging platform, Credly, which will give you many more options for sharing, displaying and allowing others to verify your badge credential.
  • My email says something about Credly, what is that?
    • Credly is a free (Pro upgrade available) site that houses digital badges. Think of it like a portfolio. Any digital badges you receive from us – or from almost anyone – can be housed there.  This allows you to share a link to your page or to individual badges with anyone you’d like, including employers and your social network.
  • I love my badge! Can I share it on Facebook or other social media? 
  • My employer wants to verify the authenticity of the badge, is there a way to do this?
    • This is one of the benefits of digital badges. When linking back to your badge’s webpage, any visitor can review a description of the criteria for earning the badge and link to the issuing-organization (in this case, us!) to verify the authenticity of the badge. Note: every employer has a slightly different set of rules for verification, please discuss badging requirements and make sure our system provides what you need before applying to one of our offerings.
  • I use Mozilla Backpack to store my badges, can I share this badge there? 
  • I have a question not listed here. 
    • Please first visit the Credly Knowledge Base page on earning badges. If you are still stuck, write to us at Contact@TheEducatorCollaborative.com
