| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Digital portfolios can provide a space where learners’ evidence of their competencies are stored and digital badges can be used as valid indicators of accomplishment, skill or knowledge on the portfolios. We implemented the idea of issuing ‘badges’ to our students who have successfully completed the Medical English Terminology course we have developed on Moodle. The badges students earn on the course were designed to functions as a validated indicator of students’ achievements. Through the reflective questionnaire about the use of the badge function, 95.0% of the students found the use of badges helpful in confirming their achievements they had had on the courses and 68.7% of them found the earning badges helped motivate them toward further autonomous study on the course. These findings indicate that digital badges can provide students with opportunities to celebrate their achievements and enhance their learner autonomy for online self-study courses.
