    The journal article, written by James Buckingham of Zayed University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, outlines a range of topics to help educators understand the potential for digital badges, including: use cases for students, teachers and principals; an exploration of the challenges that badges can address; credibility behind badges; and how to put a badge program in place. The article identifies a possible path to follow, taking readers through implementing a badge system using Credly.

    "Credly affords the hosting, 'baking' and issuing of open digital badges for free. It also welcomes the import of both badge graphics and completed digital badges."
