The Academic Vigilance Environment (AVE) presented is a combination of two innovative tools. AchieveUp's micro-credentialing system identifies and showcase students' skills, while KnowGap's provides personalized learning content that fills knowledge gaps. To meet the growing demand for micro-credentials, AchieveUp integrates this capability into established courses using online quizzes to evaluate skills from a predefined test bank. By leveraging responses from digitized quiz-based assessments, we have developed a synergistic approach with online assessment and remediation protocols. Our Python-based toolkit enables undergraduate tutors to identify and address knowledge gaps among at-risk learners in higher-education courses. Through digitized assessments, personalized tutoring, and automated skill analysis scripts integrated into Canvas LMS, students receive skill-specific badges that provide incremental motivation and enhance their self-efficacy. In a required electrical and computer engineering course here at UCF, the implemented software allowed for the distribution of 17 unique digital badges suitable for LinkedIn posting, benefiting both students and employers by verifying skills, while also providing instructors with insights to improve course instruction.
