Digital badges have been around for ages

...but they’re difficult to verify and they’re easy to copy

Enter Open Badges! (or more accurately, the OBI)

This is how it works

Earner chooses to put it in their backpack

Collections of badges can be shared to unlock new opportunities and possibilities.

Some recent badges created with DigitalMe

Let’s work together!
