Get Data Ready! with GSU: Georgia State University Library's Data Literacy Skills Digital Badges Micro-Credentialing Program

In Spring 2022, Georgia State University Library's Research Data Services Department launched the GSU Data Ready! Badges data literacy micro-credentialing initiative: https://lib.gsu.edu/data-ready. In this poster session, we will present: (1) the content of our two badges tracks — data literacy foundations and software/coding training [14 separate badges]; (2) the online platforms [Canvas and Badgr] used for automated badge earning and distribution; (3) assessment of program success; and (4) ways in which other institutions might develop similar initiatives.

The poster session format will optimize attendee engagement via extended Q&A and demonstration opportunities.
