They can represent hard & softskills, peer assessment, and stackable lifelong learning
Open Badges can capture learning wherever & however itoccurs—allowing for innovation
Open Badges?(What about degrees, certificates, diplomas?)
Not simply either/or—both/and!
I love badges for motivating me in
my learning!
We use metadata-infused credentials
aligned with the OBI
I’m using micro-accreditation to
make achievements more granular
3 main ways to issue badges...
Roll your own solution(using onboarding documentation)
Use plugin for an existing system (plugins available for most major platforms/systems)
Third-party issuing platform(URLs in metadata point to their servers)
