Share Your Accomplishments & Milestones with an LTEN Badge on LinkedIn

Now, when you complete an LTEN certificate course or eLearning Lounge, win a special accolade, become part of the LTEN volunteer community, or partner with LTEN as a Preferred Industry Partner, we’ll send you a digital badge you can use across your social networks to celebrate your accomplishments.

What are digital badges?

A digital badge is a visual symbol of accomplishment. They can be shared via social media and added to your Linkedin Profiles certifications section to build your credibility and recognize your efforts.

Why is LTEN awarding digital badges?

Issuing digital badges to LTEN volunteers, certificate earners and award finalists/winners allows us to provide members with a sharable tool that amplifies their achievement. 

What is Badgr?

LTEN is using Badgr to issue and manage a standardized type of digital badges called Open Badges. A digital badge is a visual symbol of accomplishment. They can be awarded for any definable achievement.

I can't find my Badgr or LTEN badge email.

Email us at nnolan@L-TEN.org and we’ll issue you a new badge.

The badge was issued to me but I can't see it in my backpack.

If you created a Badgr account with an email address that is different that the one you received the Badgr badge email, you can add more email addresses by clicking on Profile icon in the upper right hand corner and clicking on Account Settings. 

Once on the settings page, click on the Add Email to add additional emails to your account. 

Follow the instructions to verify the new email address. 

Additional badges awarded to you via other email addresses will then appear in your Badgr backpack. 

Why create a Badgr account?

When you create a Badgr account, you will be able to locate all of your current and future LTEN badges in one central location. The Badgr backpack also allows you to organize and share those badges from a central location. 

Who do I contact if I'm having issues using the badge or adding it to my account?

Use the chat tool at L-TEN.org or reach out via info@L-TEN.org to reach an LTEN member.
