Path course proficiency badges
Proficiency badges on Biblearc are meant to serve three primary purposes. First, we hope they act as a personal motivation to take your study seriously. They are also aimed at being a catalyst to improve the overall standard of Bible research in the Biblearc community. Finally, proficiency badges allow organizations and institutions to require completion of and proficiency in Biblearc Path Courses as a part of their custom training.
Each proficiency badge is associated with a Path Course and earned by demonstrating a solid grasp of the key concepts and material of that course via a formal evaluation.* Typically, users will complete a Path Course and afterwards take the evaluation in order to earn a proficiency badge, though course completion is not required to do this. Earned proficiency badges will appear on a user's published pages and feed.
