The ODT certificate is awarded to individuals who have earned 10 digital badges by attending the ODT Series workshops. This series includes the Universal Design for Learning workshops, ODT workshops and the Quality Matters (QM) workshop offerings. Alternatively, you may earn the ODT certificate by completing the Online Design and Teaching Canvas course.

Awarded Digital Badges
To receive a digital badge for workshop attendance, you must be present for at least half of the scheduled time. Once a digital badge has been awarded, individuals receive an email from “University of Alabama at Birmingham Badging [noreply@badgr.com]" congratulating you on your achievement. From the email, you can access your Canvas Credentials account, download your digital badge, and share your digital badge to social media.
