I'm looking for examples of successful library instruction programs that are not offering course credit. Have any institutions created a multi-session program that students attend without earning credit? I would like to offer digital badges to students upon the completion of 3 courses.

Yes, I do think that badges are an answer to this challenge. See the notes to my presentation on this topic: Changing the Game

Can you summarize some of the paper's content, examples, or findings here in your answer? – walker Dec 11 '12 at 15:13
Interesting paper - I agree with your lamentations on grade inflation. I can definitely see how it might be motivating to students to earn badges in Using Databases, Navigating the Catalog, Citing Resources, etc. - just like scouts! – Mary Jo Finch Dec 23 '12 at 18:49
