Communicating this with students can be as simple as reaching out through Canvas' internal messaging system. To send a note directly to their inbox. This is just one of the many ways credentials and canvas seamlessly integrate to elevate your teaching and learning experience. The learning experience becomes more exciting for students when you clearly communicate their journey towards a meaningful outcome.

Canvas credentials pathways allow institutions to provide students with easy to follow roadmaps that showcase their skills progression. At Instructure, We know that progress in education doesn't magically appear at the end of a degree program. That's why we encourage the use of pathways so you can recognize, validate, and track learning achievements from day one. And for faculty members on the road to leadership, or looking to upskill themselves. Pathways makes it extremely easy to envision and share growth in their careers.

On the leader board, students can instantly see how they rank compared to others.

The leader board also adds an element of gamification to the learning process. To maintain student confidentiality, lectures can enable aliases instead of using real names. From a pedagogical perspective, students are more motivated as they attain more badges, driving an upward learning spiral, On the same interface, students can view the pathways they've enrolled in to understand how far they are along the learning journey. The overview also helps them see the badges they've attained, the steps they need to take to get to the next stage, and ultimately the final badge.
