Course completion

A badge is a smaller claim than a transcript

metaBADGES began as a way to show a competency without mailing the whole file. In the public prototype, a course-completion badge follows a registrar’s pen: the student requests it, a university admin approves it, and only then is it minted.

  1. 1

    Student requests

    The student asks, from a wallet, for a badge tied to a completed course. The request is not itself the credential.

  2. 2

    University admin approves

    An authorized admin reviews the request. Approval is a separate act from minting, so the institution still says what is true.

  3. 3

    Mint on Algorand

    The badge is minted and shows on the student profile. A super admin admits the university. They do not grade the course.
