Chung-Ang University Awards 'Admission Verification Digital Badge' to 2024 Freshmen

Chung-Ang University announced on the 3rd that it has awarded digital badges to successful applicants of the 2024 academic year early admission and overseas Korean admission tracks.

Digital badges are digital credentialing tools based on blockchain technology that certify learning, skills, competencies, achievements, and qualifications in the form of badges.

Unlike paper-based certificates, which are inconvenient to issue and difficult to manage, digital badges offer the advantage of being simple and easy to handle. They allow systematic management of an individual's abilities, competencies, and credential verifications.

Chung-Ang University plans to continue expanding the scope of digital badge application. Currently, badges are issued for various student achievements such as industry-academia cooperation programs and completion of extracurricular online courses. Last year, digital badge diplomas were issued to about 5,000 graduates.

A Chung-Ang University official stated, "Starting from the new semester in March, digital badges will be expanded to various educational programs such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Metaverse, Blockchain, and Culture and Content. Following early admission and overseas Korean applicants, digital badges will also be awarded to regular admission successful applicants later this month."
