DigitalChalk Office Hours: Goals Part 3

In this past session, we continued our multi-part exploration of Goals and the system changes introduced alongside this new feature. This session introduced a new aspect of the Goals experience centered on external achievement submissions and approvals, allowing learners to submit certificates, badges, credits, or other accomplishments earned outside of DigitalChalk for administrator review and approval. 

What You’ll Learn Reviewing This Session:

• An introduction to the new external achievement submission and approval capabilities within DigitalChalk,
• How learners can submit certificates, badges, credits, and other achievements earned outside of DigitalChalk,
• A walkthrough of how DigitalChalk administrators can review and approve external achievement submissions,
• How approved external achievements are housed and displayed within DigitalChalk Achievements, creating a more complete record of learner accomplishments,
• Practical examples demonstrating how the different aspects of Goals work together with other parts of the DigitalChalk system, and
• Examples of how organizations can combine internal learning activity and externally earned achievements to support broader learner Goals.

After revisiting this session, you’ll leave with a stronger understanding of how external achievement submissions and approvals expand the Goals experience, how accomplishments earned outside of DigitalChalk can become part of a learner’s Achievements, and how the different aspects of Goals can work together with the broader DigitalChalk system through real-world use cases.
