You can access all of the badges that you have earned on the MTU Canvas by creating a Parchment account.


Important note: You will need to create a Parchment account using the email address that is listed on your Canvas account to be able to access your badges. This email will end in @cit.ie (regardless of how you currently authenticate into Canvas).

Viewing your Canvas digital badge from the Email Notification


If you receive a notification by email that you have earned a digital badge (the email subject is usually "Congratulations, you earned a badge!"), you can view that badge without logging in by selecting the Download button at the bottom of the email. 


Please note: If the buttons in your email do not work properly, the safest thing to do is go to https://mtu.badges.parchment.eu/ and either log in or create an account. You will find your badges in the Backpack tab at the top of the page.
