Open Badges

Open Badges are digital badges which can be used to recognise achievements, skills and experiences. To put it another way, Badges are a web-enabled version of traditional credential and allow individuals to demonstrate achievements, skills and experiences in a digital format. Open Badges are designed in a format that make them shareable on different platforms in dedicated spaces (such as backpacks).
