Open badges are a fantastic way to exhibit their achievements at a glance to establish credibility. Certificates are a more formal approach to credentials, featuring more face-value detail of the accomplishment. However, it is becoming more and more common for individuals to use badges across platforms as a visual snapshot of their achievement, then having the badge link back to the verified webpage that contains more information about the what achievement entails and how it was obtained.
