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.

Learning Pathways
Skill tree from Path of Exile (an MMPORG)
Cow paths?
Prescriptive learning pathways are those that are created ahead of time and chart a series of activities towards a pre-determined goal.
Descriptive learning pathways, on the other hand, are those that are created after learners have reached their goal. As the name suggests, they represent what has already taken place.
(upcoming Mozilla whitepaper).

Learners are already doing their own thing. Let’s capture and credential that.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
