	Expertiza is an application built on the MVC framework to create reusable learning objects through peer review. It currently lacks micro-credentialing, which is a way to recognize students by awarding badges, for attaining specific skills in addition to the usual coursework. Past work on the implementation of badges has interfaced Expertiza with the badging platform Credly and provided a way to associate badges with courses and assignments. However, some of the awarding functionality remains to be designed. Specifically, there are three ways badges might be awarded: (i) the instructor might award them manually; (ii) students might nominate other teams for badges or (iii) badges might be awarded automatically, based on ratings by peer reviewers on specific criteria in the review rubric.
