Open Badge
Designer
www.openbadges.mewww.openbadges.me
• No Photoshop? No Worries!
• Combine a library of graphical
elements to create a unique badge
design. Add text and change colours
for anyone to design badges and
award criteria
• Publish a custom Open Badge
graphic in PNG format

Group work - what would you badge? Some
points to think about:
• Choose an area that’s relevant to your students that lends itself
to awarding open badges
• How could badges motivate your students?
• How would badges be useful for verification?
• Describe the workflow
• What rules might people have to meet to earn a badge?
Task:
Choose a badge that the group agrees is a great idea then go to
Openbadges.me and design and publish the badge.

steve.sidaway@myknowledgemap.com - don’t select “have a play” because you
won’t be able to publish your badges!
