Why do we need to have badge
sharing features in OBF?

3. 3 14.10.2015 openbadgefactory.com
Different approaches and needs
• Not all organisations have the expertise and resources to
create valuable badges and badge systems
• Some organisations are interested in designing badges, but
not in issuing them
• Some want to issue badges, but are not interested in
designing them
• Some organisations are part of networks and for them,
badges have to be recognised by other organisations to
have value

4. 4 14.10.2015 openbadgefactory.com
Some use cases
• Organisation A has developed a valuable badge system
that it can share with similar organisations (for example
schools, military, etc.)
• Organisation A creates badges to be issued by authorised
contractors, partners or vendors to their target groups (IT-
companies, franchising networks, trademark holders, etc.)
• Several highly networked organisations (associations,
school networks) collaborate to design badges for their
common needs

What can motivate organisations to share
badges?
• Influence, control and management
• Maximisation of badge value and quality (collaborative
design and wide recognition)
• Effective use of resources and expertise
• Strengthen the collaboration / consolidation of networks

Benefits
• Avoiding badge inflation
• Better use of resources and expertise
• Widely recognised badges are highly valuable for their
earners and consumers
• Effective promotion of the Open Badges standard
(ecosystems)
