What if we usedbadges for learning?

Not just digital badges but Open Badges

Visual representations ofachievements, learning, skills,

interests, competencies

Open Badges can complementtraditional

education practices

They can accommodateformal & informallearning pathways

They can represent hard & softskills, peer assessment, and stackable lifelong learning

Open Badges can capture learning wherever & however itoccurs—allowing for innovation

StealthAssessment

Open Badges?(What about degrees, certificates, diplomas?)

Not simply either/or—both/and!

How do we get there?

Through a shared badge ecosystem & infrastructure:

a universal standard.
