Agenda

Rationale:
Learning today happens everywhere. But it's often difficult to get recognition for skills and achievements that happen online or out of school. Mozilla Open Badges helps solve that problem, making it easy for any organization to issue, manage and display digital badges across the web.

Towards a Solution
What if we used badges to credential learning?
Not just digital badges but Open Badges
Open Badges are images with metadata hard-coded into them

Visual representations ofachievements, learning, skills,
interests, competencies
Open Badges can augmenttraditional education practices
They can accommodateformal & informallearning pathways
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!

How do we get there?
Through a shared badge ecosystem & infrastructure:
a universal standard.
