Open Badges is an open standard developed by the Mozilla Foundation that helps in recognising and verifying learning, achievements and skills that we gain from everyday life, at work, hobbies and elsewhere. Using Open Badges is not limited only to the world of informal learning; for example educational institutions can showcase the learning that can be gained from their training programs for employers and therefore support the employment of their students.

An Open Badge is an image that contains metadata. The issuer of the badge can tell with this data information regarding the badge earner’s learning, skills or achievements. Badges can be issued by educational institutions, associations, companies as well as private people.

Some guidelines:

• Share your Open Badges to your LinkedIn profile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJJ8lZshqbY
