DESCRIPTION
Using Mozilla’s new Open Badge Infrastructure, any organization, course or community can issue badges backed by their own seal of approval. Learners can collect badges from different sources and display them on their resume, web site, social networking profiles, employment sites, or just about anywhere. See how it works in this awesome demo from Mozilla.

Making it easy to issue and display badges across the web
Open Badges
Open Badges is a project of Mozilla with support from the MacArthur Foundation
What are badges?
badges = visual representations of a skill or achievement
scouting may be the first example that comes to mind
more and more, we see badges representing achievements on the web
some are just for fun or social status
but increasingly the skills are real, based on real tasks and work
reflecting technical and social abilities -- both of which employers are looking for
and willing to pay for ➔ jobs
What if we used badges for learning?
Open learning: Mozilla & P2PU’s School of Webcraft
After-school programs: iRemix
Museums & Science Centers: American Museum of Natural History
Government agencies: NASA
Community Organizations: 4-H
What if we all used a shared badge ecosystem and infrastructure?
