How do I add an external badge to a Canvas Credentials Pathway?

Pathways is a paid feature of Canvas Credentials. For more information about a Canvas Credentials subscription for your organization, please fill out this form.

If you're trying to create a pathway and can't find the badge you want to use under your issuer or organization, you may add any Open Badge by importing the badge using the third-party feature in pathways.

Badges may originate from any platform as long as they comply with the Open Badges standard. Non-Canvas Credentials badges can only be added as required badges on a pathway.

You may upload a badge that has or has not yet been awarded.
