2. Learning happens everywhere.
But it's often difficult to get recognition for skills and
achievements that happen online or out of school.
Open Badges are an attempt to solve that
problem, allowing any organization to issue, manage
and display digital badges across the web.
3. Badges being developed to…
• Create an alternative accreditation /
credentialing system
• Avoid silos; i.e. badges stuck in one learning
system
• Accredit both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills
• Support learners learning everywhere

5. What is a badge and how does it work?
• An image embedded with metadata (sharable
across the web)
• Metadata links to webpages, detailing who
issued the badge, and what the learner has
done
• Can include examples of work, i.e., portfolio
6. Learner-led learning
Learners choose what badges they want to earn
Learners can share the badge on their
website, social networking profiles
(Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
Learners have control over their badge backpack

virtually anything

infrastructure
