• Individual learning pathways– Modular, flexible, diverse, portable, shareable– Blendable: multiple sources can be combined
through individual badge passports & ePortfolios– Progress in incomplete programs can still be
recognized and recombined
• Transparent, “trustable”– Criteria, evidence, issue/expiry date– Ongoing connection to issuer
