Creating & Sharing a Badgr Collection

Any digital badge you have earned from TLi, OneHE and other organizations that issue badges using Badgr should be located in your Badgr Backpack. You can organize badges into collections to easily share badges as evidence of micro-credentials you have earned related to a common topic (i.e., Online Teaching and Learning) or category (i.e., Professional Learning AY 2021-2022) in your professional portfolios, social media networks, website, etc.
