How do I add a Canvas Badge/Credential to my Canvas user profile?

Greg

I would like to add my Canvas Badges/Credentials to my Canvas user profile. It's great that I can share it with LinkedIn and other socials, but the ones that are important for my students to know about it would be great to include those as part of my Canvas user profile. Canvas ePortfolios are an option but not Canvas user profile. 

Adding a link does work:
Canvas profile with link

But it would look so much better with a badge:
Canvas user profile + badge

Am I missing a workaround?

Hello @ProfessorBeyrer 

Thanks for posting in the Community!

Currently, there is not a way to share a Digital Badge to our own Canvas profile. There is a way to create a Collection of Badges inside the Backpack inside your account at https://badges.parchment.com/

How do I create and manage a Collection of Badges in Parchment Digital Badges? 

This ability to create and share Collections does not appear within the Backpack LTI inside Canvas however.

It sounds like we want to be able to share a badge to our own Canvas profile (1) as well as be able to create and manage Collections of Badges within the Backpack LTI (2). I would suggest to submit this feature request to our support team by emailing us at parchment-badges-support@instructure.com and we would be glad to submit this as a request for additional functionality.

I hope this helps and thanks for posting in the Community!
