Open badge anatomy
Much like cash, digital badges are portable and verifiable.
An open badge is a digital graphic with a name
accompanied by a description
awarded to a person
by another person or organization (issuer)
who has demonstrated specific skills/knowledge.
By being instantly verifiable (evidence, issuer)
open badges have an advantage over
paper-based degrees, resumes, and transcripts.
