badge system
Achievement recognition framework
A badge system is a method of recognizing achievements or skills through visual tokens—digital or physical—awarded for completing tasks, reaching milestones, or demonstrating competence.
Common in education, gaming, and workplace training: The app uses a badge system to motivate users.
Scouts earn merit badges; employees collect compliance badges; gamers unlock achievement badges.
The system gamifies progress and signals accomplishment to others.
