Accept your badge through Credly’s Acclaim Platform.
Trinity uses Credly’s Acclaim Platform to issue digital badges you earn. Once you complete all of the requirements for a digital badge, including submitting your evidence to the program coordinator, you will be awarded a digital badge through Acclaim.
Show off your badge!
Congratulations, you have earned a digital badge from Trinity College! Digital badges are credentials that you own, so you can decide how you want to share them.
You will be notified via email that your badge is available. For first time users, the email will prompt you to sign up on Acclaim.
To immediately share your badge, click on “Accept your Badge” within that email. You will be directed to Acclaim’s login page. Create an account using your Trinity College email address.
Once logged in, you will see your badge and the evidence for which you earned it. To share on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, click on the “share” button and select the social media platform(s) of your choice. You will be prompted to allow Acclaim to access to your social media account(s) to post your badge.
Access and share your badges at any time.
If you choose not to immediately share your badge, you can log in to your Acclaim account at any time to access and share your badges.
To do so you must:
- Log into your account.
- Select the badge you’d like to share.
- At the top of the page, select the “share” button.
- You will be brought to the “share badge” screen where you can find different tabs directing you to connect your social media accounts and share your badge.
