Badges What  is  a  Badge?   •  badge  [baj]:  a  special  or  distinctive  mark,  token,  or  device  

worn  as  a  sign  of  allegiance,  membership,  authority,  achievement,  etc.  (Source:  Dictionary.com)  

•  A  badge  is  a  symbol  or  indicator  of  an  accomplishment,  skill,  quality  or  interest.  From  the  Boy  and  Girl  Scouts,  to  PADI  diving  instruction,  to  the  more  recently  popular  geo-­‐‑location  game,  Foursquare,  badges  have  been  successfully  used  to  set  goals,  motivate  behaviours,  represent  achievements  and  communicate  success  in  many  contexts.

Digital  Badges  vs  Open  Badges    

•  A  digital  badge  is  an  online  representation  of  a  skill  you’ve  earned.  Open  Badges  take  that  concept  one  step  further,  and  allows  you  to  verify  your  skills,  interests  and  achievements  through  credible  organizations  and  aRaches  that  information  to  the  badge  image  file,  hard-­‐‑coding  the  metadata  for  future  access  and  review.  

•  Because  the  system  is  based  on  an  open  standard,  earners  can  combine  multiple  badges  from  different  issuers  to  tell  the  complete  story  of  their  achievements  —  both  online  and  off.  

•  Badges  can  be  displayed  wherever  earners  want  them  on  the  web,  and  share  them  for  employment,  education  or  lifelong  learning.
