- Electives: A series of optional K12 or HE courses can be selected by participants based on their interests and needs.
Participants will receive a digital badge issued through Badgr upon completion of each course and a digital pathway micro-credential upon completion of the full program. Evidence will be reviewed by the Digital Promise team against passing criteria/rubric.
